Data as of: 21-AUG-2019
Notes applicable to this report:
- The source for this table is ACF-801 data for FY 2018.
- All counts are based on "adjusted" numbers of families and children, unless otherwise indicated. These "adjusted" numbers represent the number funded through CCDF only (which includes Federal Discretionary, Mandatory, and Matching Funds; TANF transfers to CCDF; and State Matching and Maintenance of Effort Funds). The "adjusted" number is the raw or "unadjusted" number reported by the State multiplied by its pooling factor, as reported on the ACF-800. This report takes this factor into consideration in calculating the "adjusted" numbers or percentages.
- All States provide an actual unadjusted count of families served each month. For States reporting full population data, the number of child records reported each month was directly counted. However, for States that only submit samples, the ratio of children-to-families was determined each month from the samples and then multiplied by the reported number of families to obtain an estimate of the unadjusted number of children served each month. The unadjusted average number of families and children was obtained from the monthly numbers in the FY, as reported on the ACF-801 summary (header) record.
- A "0%" indication often means the value is less than 0.5% rather than actually zero. In a few instances, the sum of the categories may not appear to add up to exactly 100% because of rounding.
- At the time of publication, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands had not yet reported any ACF-801 data for FY 2018. Arkansas, Guam, and Louisiana had submitted 11 months, and North Carolina had submitted 1 month. All other States and Territories had submitted the full 12 months of data.
- The Unspecified / Invalid column only includes family records with unspecified code (unknown or head of household declined to identify home language), or an invalid or missing number for ACF-801 element 16d, Primary Language Spoken at Home.
- Languages reported under "Other" include: Native Central, South American, and Mexican languages (e.g., Mixteco, Quichean);Caribbean Languages (e.g., Haitian-Creole, Patois); Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages (e.g., Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali); East Asian Languages (e.g., Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog); Native North American/Alaska Native Languages; Pacific Island Languages (e.g., Palauan, Fijian); European and Slavic Languages (e.g., German, French, Italian, Croatian, Yiddish, Portuguese, Russian); African Languages (e.g., Swahili, Wolof); and Other (e.g., American Sign Language).
- "-" indicates data not reported.
