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

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.
