Federally-financed programs administered by State public assistance agencies are <br />funded predominately by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In support of its <br />stewardship requirements, HHS has published requirements for the development, documentation, <br />submission, negotiation, and approval of public assistance cost allocation plans in Subpart E of <br />45 CFR Part 95. All administrative costs (direct and indirect) are normally charged to Federal <br />awards by implementing the public assistance cost allocation plan. This Attachment extends <br />these requirements to all Federal agencies whose programs are administered by a State public <br />assistance agency. Major federally-financed programs typically administered by State public <br />assistance agencies include: Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, Food <br />Stamps, Child Support Enforcement, Adoption Assistance and Foster Care, and Social Services <br />Block Grant. <br />B.
