If you have any questions about the pilot cost and resource data collection, please contact [assigned data co Pilot Costs and Resources Workbook [State Agency Workbook / Local Agency Workbook] [Date Completed] Data Collection for the TANF Pilot Evaluatio Introduction and Instructions Your state is among five states that were selected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to participate in pilot authorized by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA). Mathematica, The Adjacent Possible, and the American Public Human Serv understand and learn from these pilots under contract with the Administration for Children and Families at HHS. This workbook colle associated with implementing your TANF pilot to inform the evaluation. The study team will collect relevant information from you, p information with you to fill in any gaps. What is this workbook about? This workbook collects information at the state-level, or selected county or local TANF offices or areas, and contracted providers, as the TANF program as it shifts to the use of outcome measures for participants and the changes associated with implementing the pr information on the costs of setting up and launching the pilot program and how these costs and use of resources change over the co in this workbook is for research purposes only; it is not to monitor TANF spending. We will gather costs of the TANF program where the pilot will occur; this might include statewide costs or be restricted to particula focused on program management, service delivery to participants, and performance measurement. We will not gather informatio administrative functions that are not directly related to the TANF program. How is the workbook organized? The workbook is divided into six (6) sections, labeled A through F. • Section A collects basic information on [TANF PROGRAM/PILOT NAME] and the reporting period of focus for the information in • Section B collects costs of starting up the TANF pilot program and ongoing costs that are specific to pilot implementation. • Sections C and D collect information about staff. Section C collects details about the positions and time use of staff with roles t performance measurement in the TANF program during the specified reporting period. Section D asks about personnel costs (sal identified in Section C. • Section E asks about contracted services that support service delivery to TANF participants (such as case management, employ services, etc.) and program management and performance measurement (such as data systems or data management). • Section F asks about the costs of services purchased from or payments made to providers, vendors, or employers to support ac not part of larger contracts) and any direct payments made to participants (beyond their basic cash assistance). You can access each section by clicking on the tabs at the bottom of this page. What time period does the workbook cover? The workbook should cover a one-year period for which information is available on expenditures made (rather than budgets)--either the first data collection, this period should be as close to the planning period of October 2025 through September 2026 as possible. study team. For easy reference, the reporting period is repeated throughout the instructions of each tab. What information will help complete the workbook? To get started, the study team will work with you to identify readily available data or information from your agency, such as existing in the information needed. We are seeking actual payment information rather than budgets as much as possible. We will walk you t use of processes you might already have in place to compile this type of information. Different people might be needed to complete with the costs and accounting records of TANF management, people familiar with the staffing structure of the TANF program, people with the pilot planning process. How will my organization share information to complete the workbook? We will use a File Transfer Protocol established specifically for this study to securely share information between your agency and ou How will the information that I provide be used? Information from this workbook will be kept private to the extent permitted by law. Only members of the study team will have acces start-up costs for the pilots, the costs of different components and activities, and how the use of resources might change over the pi TANF pilots. Thank you for your participation in this important study.

Mathematica Policy Research 3 of 27 SECTION B: START UP COSTS This section asks about the costs associated with starting up your TANF pilot during [specify reporting period, e.g. the pilot planning year of FY2026]. These might include investments in new activities, staff hires, or infrastructure; or costs to prepare for and begin early implementation of the TANF pilot, such as planning and staff development time, or building new partnerships for service delivery. B1. The table below tracks information about the costs to plan, prepare for, and initially launch your TANF pilot program. The study team pre-populated Column 1 with common start-up or early implementation activities. Not every activity will apply to your program and you can enter -0- if you did not have costs for these activities during the planning period. The list in column 1 is not exhaustive of implementation activities; we will add any other costs for activities associated with launching the TANF pilot program. We can estimate expenditures based on information available about staff time or frequency of an activity, calculate expenditures using information across multiple sources, or report actual expenditures based on tracking and financial reports. Note the method in column (4) by selecting an option from the drop-down menu. If the selected the option is for "some other way," include a brief description of the method used in column (4a).

D1. In the table below, we will indicate expenditures for salaries and fringe benefits for each staff position from Section C. The study team will carry over the positions and job titles from Section C, but they may need to be separated into additional rows using the instructions below. The table organizes staff by state-level, regional/county/jurisdiction-level, and by contracted providers in the same structure as Section C. ONLY INCLUDE CONTRACTED PROVIDERS WHO HAVE FRONTLINE STAFF THAT WORK DIRECTLY WITH TANF PARTICIPANTS, SUCH AS CASE MANAGERS, COACHES, OR EMPLOYMENT COUNSELORS. Not all sections will apply to each pilot. The information may not be readily available from contracted providers, or not at this level of detail; we will fill in the information as best as possible for contracted providers. If available, include personnel expenses for relevant contracted providers for frontline staff ONLY (for example, case managers, coaches, or employment counselors). Use one line for each position: 1. Enter each distinct staff position and job title in column (1). 2. Enter the average annual full-time wage paid for the position during the reporting period in column (2). If reporting a wage that is not on an hourly basis, include both regular and overtime pay. If the position has a wage range, enter the range (for example, $40,000 to $50,000) or the median (for example $45,000). 3. Select the basis paid from the drop down menu in column (3) (e.g. per hour, per week, biweekly, etc.). 4. Enter the amount of payroll taxes and fringe benefits for each full-time equivalent (FTE) position as a percentage of salary or as an average dollar amount per FTE in column (4). If you only have a total amount paid for all employees, record this amount in the workbook under explanatory notes at the bottom of this sheet (question D2). 5. Enter the number of FTE spots for each position in each separate row in column (6). Base the total FTEs on both (1) the percentage of time people in the position spend on TANF program activities and (2) the number of hours they work a week (if they work less than full-time). For example, there are four Data Specialists; one works 20 hours a week all on the TANF program; another works full-time, 40 hours a week but spends 50% of their time on the TANF program, and two more both work full-time and spend all their time on the TANF program. The FTE for the Data Specialist position would be .5 + .5 + 1 + 1 = 3. NOTE: For contracted providers, we are most interested in personnel costs for frontline staff that work directly with TANF participants as case managers, coaches, or employment counselors. Costs for other positions with contracted providers are not necessary to gather at the position level. If you are not able to gather information on personnel costs of frontline staff who work for contracted providers at the position level, please skip that part of the table and follow the instructions in Section E.
