Terms of Clearance:
ACF needs to continue to use ACF-196 (OMB No 0970-0247) for the monitoring of and adjustments to grant year awards issued prior to FY 2015 until all states have closed these pre-FY 2015 grant awards, which could take several years. Once all of these pre-FY 2015 awards are closed, ACF-196 will become obsolete and ACF will submit a request to discontinue the IC associated with ACF-196.

Abstract:
Approval of the ACF-196R would result in two basic changes to TANF quarterly financial reports. The first primary change is to require respondents to allocate annual expenditures among an expanded list of categories on the ACF-196R; these categories better reflect the wide range of activities on which state TANF agencies are expending funds. The second primary change is to the accounting method used to report expenditures made in a fiscal year and monitor cumulative expenditures by grant year award. We explain these changes in further detail in our response to question 15 in the Supporting Statement.
