The state-level aggregate report, or ACF-800, is one of two data collections undertaken by the Office of Child Care pursuant to the requirements of the Child Care and Development Block Grant of 1990 (42 USC 9801 et seq.) as amended by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PL 104-93) and the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (PL 105-33). All Child Care and Development Fund lead agencies in the States, the District of Columbia, and Territories (including Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianna Islands, and the US Virgin Islands) are responsible for completing the ACF-800. For more information, please see the OCC website at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/occ/report/formhelp/acf800/index.htm
As always, when submitting the ACF-800 report, data must include all children served by the Child Care and Development Fund, regardless of funding stream (Discretionary, Mandatory, Matching, State Match, Maintenance of Effort, and Transfers from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program). For States that pool CCDF and non-CCDF Funds, the data also must include all children funded by these sources. All counts should reflect the period that begins October 1 and ends September 30. Each State and Territory must submit the ACF-800 by December 31, reporting on services provided during the preceding Federal Fiscal Year.
