This ICR is approved for 24 months on the understanding that this ICR will be fully electronic (e.g. a web-based form) upon resubmission. Because ACF believes this can be done within 18 months of receiving approval--and because this form should have already been fully-electronic for this submission, per previous terms of clearance--ACF will report this ICR as a PRA violation in the appropriate future ICB if the form is not fully electronic upon resubmission. The ICR is also approved on the understanding that the standard PRA blurb, OMB number, and expiration date will be printed on the instruments, as agreed.

The report is used to collect descriptive program characteristics information on the programs operated by States and Territories in association with their Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs. All State and Territory expenditures claimed toward States and Territories MOE requirements must be appropriate, i.e., meet all applicable MOE requirements. The Annual MOE Report provides the ability to learn about and to monitor the nature of State and Territory expenditures used to meet States and Territories MOE requirements, and it is an important source of information about the different ways that States and Territories are using their resources to help families attain and maintain self-sufficiency. In addition, the report is used to obtain State and Territory program characteristics for ACFs annual report to Congress, and the report serves as a useful resource to use in Congressional hearings about how TANF programs are evolving, in assessing State and Territory MOE expenditures, and in assessing the need for legislative changes.
