Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: TANF High Performance Bonus Report, Assessment of Medicaid
and SCHIP Enrollment.
OMB No.: 0992-0007.
Description: Pub. L. 104-93, the Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), established the
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program. It also
included provisions for rewarding States that attain the highest levels
of success in achieving the legislative goals of that program. The
purpose of this collection, which is a proposed extension without
change of a collection currently in use, is to obtain data upon which
to base the computation for measuring State performance in meeting
those goals by providing Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance
(SCHIP), Program work supports. HHS will use the information to
allocate the Medicaid/SCHIP program portion of the bonus grant funds
appropriated under the law and implemented by 45 CFR part 270 published
on August 30, 2000. States will not be required to submit this
information unless they elect to compete on a Medicaid/SCHIP measure
for the TANF High Performance Bonus awards in any Federal year for
which Congress authorizes and appropriates bonus funds.
Respondents: Respondents may include any of the 50 States, the
District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories of Guam, Puerto Rico,
and the Virgin Islands.
