Background

OFA has updated the TANF data reporting instructions (ACF-199) to address a policy question raised by a state. This change adds a new acceptable value to Citizenship/Immigration Status:

3 = Non-qualified alien

Ticket #3386 adds 3 as an acceptable value for Citizenship Status in T2, T3, and T5. While updating the accepted values for these 3 fields, we identified some Cat 3 checks related to Citizenship/Immigration Status that are also affected by this change. The following Cat 3 checks should be updated to include 3 as an accepted value.

In T2:
• When Item 30 (Family Affiliation) = 1, then Item 42 (Citizenship/Immigration Status) must be one of (1, 2, 3).

In T3:
• When Item 67 (Family Affiliation) = 1, then Item 76 (Citizenship/Immigration Status) must be one of (1, 2, 3).
• When Item 67 (Family Affiliation) = 2, then Item 76 (Citizenship/Immigration Status) must be one of (1, 2, 3, 9).

In T5:
• When Item 14 (Family Affiliation) is 1, then Item 25 (Citizenship/Immigration Status) must be between 1 and 3.

Acceptance Criteria

• Each TANF Active and Closed file T2, T3, and T5 allows 3 as a valid input for Category 3 checks related to Citizenship/Immigration Status.
• Testing Checklist has been run and all tests pass
• README is updated, if necessary
