| Notes applicable to this table: |
| 1. |
The source for this table is ACF-801 data for FY 2002. |
| 2. |
The "adjusted" numbers were obtained by multiplying the respective "unadjusted" numbers by the reported pooling factor percentage that was applicable to the ACF-801 data. |
| 3. |
The reported results shown above have been rounded to the nearest 100. The national numbers are simply the sum of the State and Territory numbers. |
| 4. |
All states provide an actual count of families served. However, the number of children served is not a direct count based on the fact that some States elect to submit sample data versus full population data. For States that submit samples, the ratio of children-to-families is determined and then multiplied by the number of families served to obtain an estimate of the number of children served. |
| 5. |
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands were unable to report ACF-801 case-level data before report preparation. |
| 6. |
On an ongoing basis, CA serves a significant number of families and children through State funds. Beginning in FY 2002, CA recognized and corrected their reporting to show that only 86% of families and children are being served through CCDF (as opposed to 100%). The other 14% are actually being served by non-CCDF funds. Prior to FY 2002, NY reported children based on a payments system which allowed for a child to be counted more than once. Beginning with FY 2002, NY revised their reporting system. This has had the effect of eliminating double-counting. These changes lowered the national child counts by nearly 100,000 for FY 2002 and FY 2003 as compared to what was reported for FY 2001. |
