Code of Federal Regulations Title 45. Public Welfare § 45.261.43 What is the definition of a “case receiving assistance” in calculating the caseload reduction credit?

(i) Where annual excess MOE expenditures on assistance equal total annual MOE expenditures minus the percentage of historic State expenditures specified in paragraph (v) of this section, multiplied by the percentage that annual expenditures on assistance (both Federal and State) represent of all annual expenditures, and

(ii) Where the average monthly assistance expenditures per case for the fiscal year equal the sum of annual TANF and SSP–MOE assistance expenditures (both Federal and State) divided by the average monthly sum of TANF and SSP–MOE caseloads for the fiscal year.

(iii) If the excess MOE calculation is for a separate two-parent caseload reduction credit, we multiply the number of cases funded with excess MOE by the average monthly percentage of two-parent cases in the State's total (TANF plus SSP–MOE) average monthly caseload.

(iv) All financial data must agree with data reported on the TANF Financial Report (form ACF–196) and all caseload data must agree with data reported on the TANF Data and SSP–MOE Data Reports (forms ACF–199 and ACF–209).

(v) The State must use 80 percent of historic expenditures when calculating excess MOE;  however if it has met the work participation requirements for the year, it may use 75 percent of historic expenditures.
