Administration for Children and Families


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Annual Report/ACF 204 (State MOE).
    OMB No.: 0970-0248.

Description

    The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting a 
three-year extension of the ACF-204 (Annual MOE Report). The report is 
used to collect descriptive program characteristics information on the 
programs operated by States and Territories in association with their 
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs. All State and 
Territory expenditures claimed toward States and Territories MOE 
requirements must be appropriate, i.e., meet all applicable MOE 
requirements. The Annual MOE Report provides the ability to learn about 
and to monitor the nature of State and Territory expenditures used to 
meet States and Territories MOE requirements, and it is an important 
source of information about the different ways that States and 
Territories are using their resources to help families attain and 
maintain self-sufficiency. In addition, the report is used to obtain 
State and Territory program characteristics for ACFs annual report to 
Congress, and the report serves as a useful resource to use in 
Congressional hearings about how TANF programs are evolving, in 
assessing State the Territory MOE expenditures, and in assessing the 
need for legislative changes.

Respondents

    The 50 States of the United States, the District of Columbia, Guam, 
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
