*Reporting Requirements
States are required
by statute (Social Security Act , Title IV-A, Section 411) to report
on:
- Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and
- Program expenditure data, including:
- data on expenditures for administrative costs and
- data on transitional services to families that have ceased
to receive cash assistance because they have found employment.
States are also required (Social Security Act , Title IV-A, Section
409) to share in the costs of the TANF program. A statutory maintenance
of effort (MOE) requirement calls for the expenditure of State funds
on the program to remain at certain historic levels.
The Department of Health and Human Services has developed a financial
data reporting form (Form ACF-196), which States are required to submit
no later than 45 days after the end of each quarter.
- States are also required by statute to report programmatic data
such as caseload numbers and caseload demographics.
- We will provide separate summaries of TANF programmatic data as the
data becomes available.
