TANF Work Participation Rates

Published by ACF | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Metadata Last Checked: July 04, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-03
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issues TANF state work participation rates, which measure how well states engage families receiving assistance in certain work activities during a fiscal year. For work participation rate purposes, states include the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the US territories of Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. A state must meet an overall (or “all families”) and a two-parent work participation requirement or face a potential financial penalty.  <b>Units of Response: </b>TANF Recipients, Work-Eligible Individuals <b>Type of Data: </b>Administrative <b>Tribal Data: </b>Yes <b>Periodicity: </b>Annual <b>Demographic Indicators: </b>Not Applicable <b>SORN: </b>https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/04/02/2015-07440/privacy-act-of-1974-system-of-records-notice <b>Data Use Agreement: </b>Unavailable <b>Data Use Agreement Location: </b>Unavailable <b>Granularity: </b>State <b>Spatial: </b>United States <b>Geocoding: </b>State
