TANF & TANF-MOE

PCG works with state and local clients to improve their Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs through a variety of creative and effective consulting services to enhance compliance with federal regulations, financial performance, and programmatic efficiency.

Financing

• MOE Tracking and Claiming
  PCG can identify non-traditional sources for TANF Maintenance of Effort (MOE) match that clients can use to draw down TANF funds, thereby reducing general fund
  spending.
• Excess MOE Caseload Reduction Credit
  PCG can help states lower their Target Work Participation Rate (WPR) by increasing MOE spending.
• Block Grant Management
  PCG's experienced consultants can stretch your funding by developing new financing mechanisms for program activities currently paid with TANF that are eligible to be paid
  by uncapped entitlement funds. Replacing the TANF dollars with entitlement funds enables you to use TANF dollars to fund program activities not eligible for other types of funding, resulting in a net benefit to the state.

Programmatic

• Work Participation Enhancements
  PCG can help states improve their WPR through creative policy making and program design.
• TANF Program Evaluation
  PCG can conduct a top to bottom review of your organization to identify strengths, gaps, and operational efficiencies that could be implemented. PCG can also provide
  detailed Opportunity Assessments that outline options, policy concerns, best practices, and revenue estimates for client review.

Compliance

• DRA Compliance
  PCG consultants can help your TANF agency comply with new federal mandates imposed by TANF reauthorization in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA). Our expert knowledge of federal law and regulation and breadth of experience with many state TANF programs can help you avoid severe financial penalties for failing to meet strict WPR and Work Verification requirements.
