The federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant includes specific performance expectations and requirements to help federal and state governments measure program success. All states are required to meet specific work participation rates, which reflect the percentage of families receiving TANF assistance that must be engaged in federally-defined work activities.
The ACF202-Caseload Reduction Credit Report provides an analysis of TANF case closure and application activity, including activity related to changes in eligibility criteria. The caseload reduction credit for FFY 2007 reduces the state's work participation rate for that fiscal year based on the decline in the FFY 2006 assistance caseload compared to FFY 2005. The methodology and the case number estimates used are included in this document.
