PURPOSE:
To transmit the renewed form ACF-202 and instructions for completing that form, which States must use to report caseload reduction information for fiscal year 2009 and thereafter.
BACKGROUND:
Section 407(b)(3) of the Social Security Act, as amended by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA), requires us to reduce a State’s required work participation rate for a fiscal year by the State’s caseload reduction credit for that fiscal year. The caseload reduction credit gives a State credit for reducing its caseload between a base year and a comparison year.
States submit data for the calculation of their caseload reduction credit by completing form ACF-202. Office of Management and Budget approval for the use of the ACF-202 expired on April 30, 2011. The form has now been renewed without change until July 31, 2014. ACTION: Caseload Reduction Reports for FY 2012 are due by December 31, 2011.
ATTACHMENTS:
Form ACF-202 and instructions for completing form ACF-202, with updated expiration date.
