The ACF-800 collects annual aggregate CCDF data on the children and families receiving direct services under the CCDF from states and territories, as required by the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act. The form was last renewed in February 2019 and has a current expiration date of February 28, 2022.
In support of the COVID-19 response, Congress has enacted multiple supplemental appropriations for CCDF. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was enacted, which included a $3.5 billion increase in the CCDF for States, Territories, and Tribes that must be used for activities authorized under the CCDBG Act that prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19. The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act was enacted, which included a $10 billion increase in supplemental CCDF Discretionary funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act was enacted and included $14,990,000,000 in CCDF Discretionary Supplemental funds.
The report received an approved nonsubstantive change in June 2020 to adhere to the CARES Act. To collect data on children and families served with the multiple rounds of supplemental funding, the Office of Child Care (OCC) is requesting OMB approval of nonsubstantive changes to the current ACF-800 that are similar to the nonsubstantive changes made in response to the CARES Act.
