This Policy Announcement replaces the guidance issued via TANF-ACF-PA-98-5, dated December 23, 1998, and reflects subsequent legislative changes in the Welfare-to-Work programs since the last update, discussion regarding TANF-funded "assistance" pursuant to 45 CFR 260.31, and clarification of the use of TANF funds in transportation projects.

This Policy Announcement formally responds to questions regarding the status and applicability of the Handbook of Public Assistance Administration.

This Policy Announcement provides state agencies with guidance on submitting caseload reduction credit information necessary to reduce a state's minimum TANF participation rate requirements. It also transmits form ACF-202, the form and instructions that states must use to report caseload reduction information in fiscal year 2000 and thereafter.

This Program Announcement 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 PA on this topic (see TANF-ACF-PA-99-1 dated June 18, 1999).  A new PA is necessary because of a reorganization of the Office of Family Assistance and the need to clarify certain aspects of the process.
