Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Title: Work Participation and TANF/WIA Coordination Project.
OMB No.: New collection.
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing an information collection activity as part of the Work
Participation and TANF/WIA Coordination Project. The proposed
information collection consists of semi-structured interviews with key
state Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Work
Investment Act (WIA) respondents on questions of engagement in
additional work activities and expenditures of other benefits and
services as well as questions concerning TANF/WIA Coordination. Through
this information collection, ACF seeks to elucidate the data presented
in reports submitted by states to the ACF Office of Family Assistance
(OFA) as required by the Claims Resolution Act of 2010. This collection
is separate from the state reports to OFA required by the Act. In
addition, it will provide documentation of positive TANF/WIA
coordination activities.
Respondents: State administrators responsible for the TANF and WIA
Programs.
