    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 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.
