Title: State High Performance Bonus System (HPBS) Transmission File
Layouts for HPBS Work Measures.
OMB No.: 0970-0230.
Description: This is a proposed extension of a current information
collection. The purpose of this collection is to obtain data upon which

legislative goals of TANF as specified in section 403(a)(4) of the
Social Security Act and 45 CFR part 270. Specifically, the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) will use the data to award the
portion of the bonus that rewards States for their success in moving
TANF recipients from welfare to work. States will not be required to
submit this information unless they elect to compete on a work measure
for the TANF High Performance Bonus awards.
Respondents: Respondents may include any of the 50 States, the
District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
