Title: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families/National Directory of New Hires Match Results Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0311.
Description: Section 453(j)(3) of the Social Security Act (the Act) allows for matching between the National Directory of New Hires
(maintained by the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)) and State TANF Agencies for purposes of carrying out responsibilities under programs funded under part A of Title IV of the Act. To assist
OCSE and Office of Family Assistance (OFA) in measuring savings to the
TANF program attributable to the use of NDNH data matches, the State
TANF Agencies have agreed to provide OCSE with a written description of the performance outputs and outcomes attributable to the State TANF
Agency's use of NDNH match results. This information will help OCSE demonstrate how the NDNH supports the OCSE's mission and strategic goals.
Respondents: State TANF Agencies.
