ACF will revise this upon resubmission based on State feedback from actual experience. ACF will examine State survey and UI data and to the extent possible provide an analysis of the comparability of the two data sources. Based on this analysis, HHS will make a recommendation on the appropriate data sources for use in the HPB. In addition, ACF will take into account and submit the findings of the contractor hired to examine UI and other data sources for the bonus. ACF will also convert the earnings gain measure to a six month time frame, unless the agency has a compelling reason to retain the three month time frame.

Abstract: This information is needed to fulfill the requirement of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) that the Secretary of HHS award "high performance bonuses" to States which achieve greatest success in meeting the stated goals of that Act. The data will be used in the formula to measure State performance and determine bonus amounts. States will not be required to submit this information since competition for the bonus grants is optional. Respondents, therefore, may include any of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories of Guam, Puerto Rico,....
