Abstract: This proposed regulation, and associated information collection, is being issued under the authority granted to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-96), Section 408 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 608), Section 409 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 609), and Section 1102 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1302), which authorizes the Secretary to make and publish such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, as may be necessary to the efficient administration of functions under the Act. Because Section 4004 of P.L. 112-96 includes a new TANF penalty, ACF plans on releasing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in order to regulate the new reporting requirement and related penalty specified in the legislation. Once the NPRM is published, there will be a 60-day public comment period, after which ACF will review all comments received and draft a final rule. The final rule will be published in the Federal Register and will include a summary of the comments and responses to the comments, as well as any changes that are made to the proposed regulation as a result of the comments.
