SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Form ACF-196R is used by states administering the TANF
program to report quarterly expenditure data and to request quarterly
grant funds. Failure to collect the data would seriously compromise
OFA's and ACF's ability to monitor TANF expenditures and compliance
with statutory requirements. These data are also needed to estimate
outlays and to prepare reports and budget submissions for Congress.
Respondents: State agencies administering the TANF program (50
States and the District of Columbia).
