The Welfare to Work Formula Grant is issued by the federal Department of Labor to OBES. OBES distributes this grant to the counties. However, should a federal sanction be assessed under the Welfare to Work Formula Grant, ODHS receives a reduction in the state's TANF Block Grant. Therefore, this sanction applies to the county if any of the following apply:

(1)The county fails to deposit and subsequently report the TANF portion of county mandated share ( APM.6300. ) into the PA Fund during a year in which a Welfare to Work Formula Grant is awarded; or,

(2)The county fails to provide Welfare to Work Formula Grant matching funds.
