Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request


    Title: Caseload Reduction Documentation Process, ACF-202.
    OMB No.: 0970-0199.
    Description: To ensure that States receive credit for families that 
have become self-sufficient and left the welfare rolls, Congress 
created a caseload reduction credit. The credit reduces the required 
participation rate that a State must meet for a fiscal year. To receive 
a caseload reduction credit, a State must complete form ACF-202, the 
Caseload Reduction Report. The report provides information needed to 
calculate a caseload reduction credit, and thus determines the 
participation standard each State must meet for the fiscal year. This 
report derives from section 407(a)(3) of the Social Security Act and 
the implementing Federal Regulations at 45 CFR part 261, subpart D.
    Respondents: The 50 States of the United States, the District of 
Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
