Proposed Projects
Title: Annual Report/ACF 204 (State MOE)--1 collection.
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.
