(a) To ensure accuracy in the reporting of work activities by work-eligible individuals on the TANF Data Report and, if applicable, the SSP-MOE Data Report, each State must:
(1) Establish and employ procedures for determining whether its work activities may count for participation rate purposes;
(2) Establish and employ procedures for determining how to count and verify reported hours of work;
(3) Establish and employ procedures for identifying who is a work-eligible individual;
(4) Establish and employ internal controls to ensure compliance with the procedures; and
(5) Submit to the Secretary for approval the State's Work Verification Plan in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) A State's Work Verification Plan must include the following:
(1) For each countable work activity:
(i) A description demonstrating how the activity meets the relevant definition at Sec. 261.2;
(ii) A description of how the State determines the number of countable hours of participation; and
(iii) A description of the documentation it uses to monitor participation and ensure that the actual hours of participation are reported;
(2) A description of the State's procedures for identifying all work-eligible individuals, as defined at Sec. 261.2;
(3) A description of how the State ensures that, for each work-eligible individual, it:
(i) Accurately inputs data into the State's automated data processing system;
(ii) Properly tracks the hours though the automated data processing system; and
(iii) Accurately reports the hours to the Department;
(4) A description of the procedures for ensuring it does not transmit to the Department a work-eligible individual's hours of participation in an activity that does not meet a Federal definition of a countable work activity; and
(5) A description of the internal controls that the State has implemented to ensure a consistent measurement of the work participation rates, including the quality assurance processes and sampling specifications it uses to monitor adherence to the established work verification procedures by State staff, local staff, and contractors.
