will request that States voluntarily provide information including how
States define improper payments in their State, the process used to
identify such payments, and what actions are taken in States to reduce

Families (ACF) intends to establish a repository for State submissions,
which will be available to all States for viewing on an ACF Web site.
This Web site will provide information that will help States improve
their program integrity system(s) so that improper payments in the
programs can be reduced.

Columbia, and the Territories of Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin
