    One of the key attributes in this newly-generated file is the Update indicator which is part of the header record. This Indicator tells the legacy TANF system, TDRS (TANF Data Reporting System) whether a data file includes new (N-New) records, updated records that should be merged with existing data (U-Update), or records that should completely replace all previously-transmitted records for the section, year, and quarter (D-Delete).

    Accessing FTANF Executables

    +
    + + +

    + FTANF is a legacy desktop application tool that helps TANF partners prepare transmission files for all sections of their quarterly data report. There are three versions of the tool, each of which supports quarterly reporting for one of the following: TANF, SSP-MOE, and Tribal TANF. + + +

    + + Data can be imported to it from other systems, or entered manually. Once in the tool, data can be exported into the flat file (.txt) format required by the TANF Data Portal. +
