Since the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published interim final regulations implementing the provisions of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 that reauthorized the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, states have been busy ensuring they meet the new requirements.

To help support states in their efforts, Deloitte Consulting LLP created this booklet, organized around 10 themes we believe reflect important areas states should be considering as they evaluate and, if necessary, update, their programs to meet the new TANF obligations:

1. Put people first.
2. Promote participation.
3. Follow up to achieve results.
4. Control for quality.
5. Make your information technology work for you.
6. Integrate to be great.
7. Align policies and procedures with your goals.
8. Talk to your neighbor.
9. Leverage your business partners.
10. Support your greatest asset — your staff.
