The report is used to collect
descriptive program characteristics information on the programs
operated by States and Territories in association with their
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs. All State
and Territory expenditures claimed toward States and Territories
Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements must be appropriate, i.e.,
meet all applicable MOE requirements. The Annual MOE Report
provides the ability to learn about and to monitor the nature of
State and Territory expenditures used to meet States and
Territories MOE requirements, and it is an important source of
information about the different ways that States and Territories
are using their resources to help families attain and maintain
self-sufficiency. In addition, the report is used to obtain State
and Territory program characteristics for ACFs annual report to
Congress, and the report serves as a useful resource to use in
Congressional hearings about how TANF programs are evolving, in
assessing State and Territory MOE expenditures, and in assessing
the need for legislative changes.
