The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) reauthorized the TANF program and 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. These requirements are also discussed in Part 265 of the TANF Final Rule. Revised instructions for the TANF and SSP-MOE Data Report were recently approved as part of the TANF Data Reporting for Work Participation (OMB #0970-0338) package with a new expiration date of 10/31/2026. As states have been implementing the new instructions, some have asked clarifying questions. These questions have prompted OFA to propose a few minor changes to instructions to improve clarity and accuracy. We are requesting expedited approval of these minor changes to ensure that states are able to continue reporting with minimum disruption.

Reporting requirements have not changed since the last renewal of this information collection in 2020. But because the instructions have been updated to improve clarity and eliminate data elements and guidance that are no longer relevant, we expect that this will decrease the average burden hours per response for TANF Data Report Part 265 from 2201 to 2100 hours.
