    Proposed Projects:
    Title: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families/National Directory 
of New Hires Match Results Report.
    OMB No.: 0970-0311.
    Description: Section 453(j)(3) of the Social Security Act (the Act) 
allows for matching between the National Directory of New Hires 
(maintained by the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)) 
and State TANF Agencies for purposes of carrying out responsibilities 
under programs funded under part A of Title IV of the Act. To assist 
OCSE and the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) in measuring savings to 
the TANF program attributable to the use of NDNH data matches, the 
State TANF Agencies have agreed to provide OCSE with a written 
description of the performance outputs and outcomes attributable to the 
State TANF Agency's use of NDNH match results. This information will 
help OCSE demonstrate how the NDNH supports the OCSE's mission and 
strategic goals.
    Respondents: State TANF Agencies.
