ACF-800: Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Annual Aggregate Report

The ACF-800 collects annual aggregate data on the children and families receiving direct services under the CCDF from states and territories, as required by the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act. The form was last renewed in February 2019 and has a current expiration date of February 28, 2022. In support of the COVID-19 response, the CARES Act was enacted, which included a $3.5 billion increase in the CCDF for States, Territories, and Tribes. The supplemental funding must be used for activities authorized under the CCDBG Act that prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19. Based on feedback from states and other information, the Office of Child Care (OCC) has determined it would be challenging to establish significant new data reporting requirements at this juncture. Therefore, we are requesting OMB approval of nonsubstantive changes to the current ACF-800. Specifically, we propose to ask States to submit aggregate annual estimates on a few additional key data points —such as number of families and children served whose subsidy was funded with CARES Act dollars.
