Terms of Clearance: Because this is a long-standing and important collection for decision making, we are asking ACF during the 3 year approval period to explore options for assessing the quality and accuracy of the work participation data. Potential activities could include: hosting a virtual workshop with relevant academics and think tank fellows; using historical NDNH data to do a statistical analysis evaluating the quality of past data; and evaluating opportunities to update the state sampling guide. A discussion of these activities and any resulting changes to the collection should be submitted with the next approval package.
