Abstract: Tribes use the Quarterly Financial Report (ACF-196T) to report expenditures on a quarterly basis for the Tribal Temporary Assistance for needy families (TANF) program. The form provides specific data regarding financial disbursements and obligations. Failure to collect this data would seriously compromise the Administration for Children and Families ability to monitor expenditures. Data from this form may be used to prepare ACF budget submissions to Congress.
