Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects:
Title: DRA TANF Final Rule.
OMB No.: 0970-0338.
Description: When the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA)
reauthorized the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
program, it imposed a new data requirement that States prepare and
submit data verification procedures and replaced other data
requirements with new versions including: the TANF Data Report, the
SSP-MOE Data Report, the Caseload Reduction Documentation Process, and
the Reasonable Cause/Corrective Compliance Documentation Process. The
Claims Resolution Act of 2010 extended the TANF program through
September 2011. We are proposing to continue these information
collections without change.
Respondents: 54.
