Abstract: Revised instructions for the TANF and SSP-MOE Data Report were recently approved as part of the TANF Data Reporting for Work Participation (OMB #0970-0338) package with a new expiration date of 10/31/2026. As states have been implementing the new instructions, some have asked clarifying questions. These questions have prompted OFA to consult with the Office of General Counsel and to propose a few minor changes to instructions to ensure alignment with TANF regulations. We are requesting expedited approval of these minor changes to ensure that states are able to continue reporting with minimum disruption.
