The purpose of this memorandum is to inform districts of changes in the federal work participation rate requirements that are in effect as of October 1, 2006, and to identify changes that must be made to comply with the Interim Final Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) regulations published June 29, 2006, by the federal Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) so that the work activities in which temporary assistance applicants and recipients are engaged and the corresponding hours of participation that are reported are consistent with federal requirements. The guidance also provides districts with work activity definitions that shall govern all work activity assignments for temporary assistance applicants and recipients.
