Abstract:
Form ACF-196R is used by States administering the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to report quarterly expenditure data and to request quarterly grant funds. Failure to collect the data would seriously compromise the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) and the Administration for Children and Families’ (ACF) 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. Authority to require financial reports is contained in section 402 of the Social Security Act, with additional statutory citations included at sections 401(c)(1), 409 (a)(7) and 409 (a)(1). Regulatory citations include 45 CFR Parts 265.3 through 265.9. This form was introduced in FY 2015 and required States to report quarterly expenditures in the quarter in which the expenditure occurred. The ability to properly track these expenditures remains particularly critical for a program that involves over $17 billion in Federal funds.

Short Statement:
This reporting form was first developed in 2014 and first used in FY 2015. Grantees, initially not familiar with the new report, have since acclimated to these new requirements and have reduced the burden hours required for completion. In addition, the Federal cost burden was initially over estimated, but has since been reduced and refined to a more reasonable amount.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$14,108
