This Excel workbook shows how the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the nation as a whole spent the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grants and state Maintenance of Effort (MOE) funds in fiscal year 2009.  It also includes funds from the TANF Contingency Fund and the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund established by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009.  Individual tables for each state can be accessed through the In the States tab.

States reported this information to the Administration for Children and Families. While FY 2009 data are the most recent data that the federal government has posted, one should keep in mind that they only describe spending through September 30, 2009, and that individual state circumstances may have changed substantially since then. The definitions provide information on how CLASP organized the data from federal reporting.
