Guidance: Aggregate data for the ACF-800 are required to be total, unduplicated counts of the state or territory's CCDF caseload. Therefore, each child must be counted only once during the reporting period. Count each child assisted once even if a child has exited and re-entered the program or has had multiple provider types. If the child has had more than one provider type during the reporting period, select the last known provider type.
