# 286.270 What happens if the Tribe does not satisfy the quarterly reporting requirements?
(a) If we determine that a Tribe has not submitted to us a complete and accurate Tribal TANF Data Report within the time limit, the Tribe risks the imposition of a penalty at § 286.205 related to the work participation rate targets since the data from the Tribal TANF Data Report is required to calculate participation rates.
(b) Non-reporting of the Tribal TANF Financial Report may give rise to a penalty under § 286.200 since this Report is used to demonstrate compliance with provisions of the Act, the provisions of 2 CFR parts 200 and 300, or any Federal statutes and regulations applicable to the TANF program.
[65 FR 8530, Feb. 18, 2000, as amended at 81 FR 3020, Jan. 20, 2016; 89 FR 80071, Oct. 2, 2024]
