Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program State Plan Guidance
OMB 0970-0145 · HHS/ACF.
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) state plan is a mandatory submission to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services by the state. The Secretary has delegated the collection and review of those submissions to the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) in the Administration for Children and Families. The TANF state plan consists of an outline specifying how the state will administer and operate its TANF program and certain required certifications by the state’s Chief Executive Officer. Authority to require states to submit a TANF plan is contained in section 402 of the Social Security Act (42 USC 602), as amended by Pub. L. 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. States are required to submit new plans periodically, within a 27-month period. This is a reinstatement without changes to the prior TANF state plan information collection.
