SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The Annual MOE 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 and 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.
