ACF-196R Narrative Excellence Guide: Resource 3 (“Other” Category Deep Dive)
The "Other" category should only be used for expenditures that cannot be reported in another line item. Expenditures reported in the “Other” category must meet one of the four purposes of TANF. OFA regularly follows up on "Other" category expenditures to ensure proper classification. This resource covers the permissible types of "Other" expenditures:
- Tribal TANF Programs;
- Expenditures for Compact of Free Association (COFA) States; and
- Expenditures That Don't Fit Other Categories (Requires strong justification), such as:
- Programs combining multiple categories that cannot be meaningfully separated.
- Services with unique aspects not captured in Lines 6-22.
It helps users understand the proper use of the "Other" category to help avoid misclassifications.
