Take Action

Every time the government makes a change to a survey or a form — or introduces a new survey or form — you have the right to weigh in on that decision.

If you want to tell the government what you think about the changes they are making, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the name of the survey or form.

    The link will bring you to a listing in the "Federal Register" — a daily newsletter filled with the government's regulations, surveys, forms, public meetings, and other actions

  2. Skim the listing to find instructions on how to submit a comment.

    For most listings, this information will be found in a section titled "Addresses"

  3. Write in to tell the government what you think!

    Most listings allow you to either:

    • Send an email to the point of contact for that survey or form
    • Send your thoughts to the agency or the White House through the reginfo.gov website

2026-07-23 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Data HHS HHS is updating the records system for TANF data to make clearer that ACF can use information from TANF agencies, other HHS records, and other federal or state agencies — including DHS and SSA — for “program integrity” reviews, audits, monitoring, and citizenship or immigration-status verification. The change also adds a new routine use allowing TANF records to be shared with agencies or entities helping ACF conduct those reviews, which could raise privacy and chilling-effect concerns for low-income families, especially households with immigrant members.
