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-2011-05 dated April 22, 2011).  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.

This Information Memorandum transmits the FY 2009 work participation rates. All States were required to report work participation information for the months of October 2008 through September 2009. The FY 2009 national average overall work participation rate was 29.4 percent. Five States, the District of Columbia, and two Territories failed to meet their overall work participation rate requirements. The FY 2009 national average two-parent families work participation rate was 28.3 percent. Six States and one Territory failed to meet their two-parent families work participation requirement. (Twenty-four States, the District of Columbia, and two Territories were not subject to the two-parent work participation requirement due to the manner in which they structured their programs.) The attached tables provide detailed State-by-State information regarding work participation rates and standards, caseload reduction credits, the number of work-eligible individuals, and activities in which individuals participated.
