Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Reasonable Cause/Corrective Action Documentation Process.
OMB No.: 0970-0199.
Description: The Social Security Act provides that States can be penalized for misusing Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds and for failure to comply with other requirements. If a State wishes to dispute a penalty determination or wants to be considered for a waiver of a penalty, the State may submit a "reasonable cause" justification and/or a corrective compliance plan. After careful consideration of one or both documents, we will notify the State of our findings with respect to the penalty. This process was established by section 409 of the Social Security Act and the implementing Federal regulations at 45 CFR part 261, subpart E, Part 262, and Part 264.
Respondents: The 50 States of the United States, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
