Ohio Admin. Code 5101:9-5-65 - Temporary assistance to needy families' reporting system
(A) The
temporary assistance to needy families (TANF) reporting system is designed to capture TANF data
regarding services, populations served and expenditures for all non-cash
assistance TANF services.
(B) All
prevention, retention, and contingency (PRC) and Ohio works first (OWF) support
services must constitute "non-assistance" as set forth in section
5101.801
5101.07 of the Revised Code.
(C) The TANF reporting system consists of two
reporting mechanisms based on two primary service categories of "hard" and
"soft" services:
(1) "Hard" services are
benefits having cash value (e.g., rent payments) that are provided to clients
either as PRC services or OWF support services. These services are reported
through the client registry information system-enhanced (CRIS-E) at the time of
service provision. The reporting categories, codes and service definitions for
hard services are listed in CRIS-E/TANF "Hard" service reporting categories.; and
(2) "Soft" services are services without cash
value to the recipient (e.g., job training and education, after-school
programs, etc.) that are provided to clients either as PRC services or OWF
support services. Data on these services are collected through the TANF - "Web
Reporting Tool" (WRT). Using the TANF-WRT mechanism, counties will report
monthly data on soft services by service category, sub-category, numbers of
individuals served, and service costs. TANF-WRT contains the details on the
data requirements for PRC soft services and OWF soft support services. Soft
services data is compiled on a monthly basis. Counties may submit the data on a
monthly basis, or on a quarterly basis as long as it incorporates
month-specific data and is submitted no later than forty-five days after the
end of the quarter.
(D)
Instructions for accessing the TANF-WRT by counties and/or service providers
are included in the instructional materials attached to the TANF-WRT.
