Workforce Development

(Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)

Background

The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), through the Division of Economic Support, administers the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program. As part of the TANF program, Congress created a caseload reduction credit. The credit was created to give States credit for families that have become self-sufficient and left the welfare rolls; it reduces the required work participation rate that a State must meet for a fiscal year. It reflects the reduction in the State's caseload in the prior year compared to its caseload under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program State Plan in effect in federal fiscal year 1995 (10/1/94-9/30/95), excluding reductions due to Federal law or to State changes in eligibility criteria.

To receive the caseload reduction credit, Wisconsin must submit data to the Administration for Children and Families, federal Department of Health and Human Services, by February 15, 2001. Under the federal regulations implementing the TANF program, 45 CFR 261.41(a)(8), Wisconsin must certify that it has provided the public an appropriate opportunity to comment on the estimates and methodology used to determine the caseload reduction credit, that it considered the public comments it received on the methodology, and incorporated all net reductions resulting from Federal and State eligibility changes. In addition, it must include a summary of all public comments.

Opportunity for Public Comment

Through this notice the Department is announcing that the caseload reduction credit methodology is available for public comment on the Department's Website, http://www.dwd.state.wi.us. Copies of the methodology may also be obtained by contacting Sheryl Otto, by phone at 608/261-8087 or e-mail, [e-mail].
