This Program Instruction provides additional guidance regarding when to amend a WVP

This Program Instruction provides additional guidance regarding when to amend a WVP.

States spend considerable shares of their TANF funds on families who receive benefits and services other than traditional assistance. The data discussed in this chapter are limited to those who received assistance at some time during FY 2010 given that States only report detailed data on traditional assistance.

The FY 2010 data referenced in this report were obtained from a statistically valid sample of TANF and Separate State Program-Maintenance of Effort (SSP-MOE) cases within the national TANF/SSP-MOE database. Data are presented for all States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands (hereafter referred to as States).

Data by funding stream and expenditure category - Fiscal Year 2011.

This letter informs State Human Service Officials of an Information Memorandum issued by the Administration for Children and Families which reflects the Department of Health and Human Service’s commitment to provide states, tribes, and territories with more flexibility to innovate in the TANF program with the goal of helping more families find jobs and move toward self-sufficiency.

This Information Memorandum sets forth revised standard procedures for resolving disagreements over state-submitted caseload and expenditure data used to establish the amount of a TFAG.  This issuance supersedes and rescinds the original IM on this topic (see TANF-ACF-IM-2012-03 dated July 12, 2012).  A new IM is necessary because of a reorganization of the Office of Family Assistance and the need to clarify certain aspects of the process.
