New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
This emergency clearance is approved as revised on 8-11 under the following conditions: As agreed to by ACF, the agency will immediately change the burden estimate to 30 hours. ACF will revise this upon resubmission based on State feedback from actual experience. ACF will examine State survey and UI data and to the extent possible provide an analysis of the comparability of the two data sources. Based on this analysis, HHS will make a recommendation on the appropriate data sources for use in the HPB. In addition, ACF will take into account and submit the findings of the contractor hired to examine UI and other data sources for the bonus. ACF will also convert the earnings gain measure to a six month time frame, unless the agency has a compelling reason to retain the three month time frame.
