Formulas for Computing FY 2002 Bonus Year Rates

Work-Related Measures

Job Entry Rate

This is a measure of the percent of the number of unduplicated unemployed adult recipients who

entered employment for the first time during the performance year (i.e., Job Entries). An adult is

considered to have entered employment for the first time in a calendar quarter if he/she had noearnings in any of the prior quarters of the performance year.

Sum of Job Entries in Quarters 1 through 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- x 100

Unduplicated number of unemployed adult recipients in performance year

Job Retention Rate

This is a measure of the percent of the sum of the unduplicated number of employed adult

recipients in each quarter of the performance year who were also employed in the first and

second subsequent quarters. (At some point, the adult might have become a former recipient.)

Sum of employed adult recipients in each of Quarters 1 through 4 who continued

employment in both the first and second subsequent Quarters------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ x 100

Sum of unduplicated employed adult recipients in Quarters 1 through 4

Earnings Gain Rate

This is a measure of the rate of change in earnings of employed adult recipients who were

employed in both an initial and the second subsequent quarter in each of the four quarters of the

performance year.

Sum of total dollars earned in second subsequent Quarter in each of Quarters 1

through 4 minus sum of total dollars earned in initial Quarter in each of Quarters1 through 4 of adult recipients employed in both of these Quarters

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- x 100Sum of total dollars earned in initial quarter in each of Quarters 1 through 4

Table 5:1 (continued)

Success-in-the Workforce

This is a composite measurement of separate State ranking scores of the Retention and Earnings

Gain rates for the performance year, as shown above. The ranks are equally weighted,combined, and then re-ranked.

Increase/Decrease in Job Entry Rate

This measure compares the percentage point change between the Job Entry Rate achieved in the

performance year (FY 2001) and the prior year (FY 2000).

FY 2001 Job Entry Rate minus FY 2000 Job Entry Rate

Increase/Decrease in Job Retention Rate

This measure compares the percentage point change between the Job Retention Rate achieved in

the performance year (FY 2001) and the prior year (FY 2000).

FY 2001 Job Retention Rate minus FY 2000 Job Retention Rate

Increase/Decrease in Earnings Gain Rate

This measure compares the percentage point change between the Earnings Gain Rate achieved in

the performance year (FY 2001) and the prior year (FY 2000).

FY 2001 Earnings Gain Rate minus FY 2000 Earnings Gain Rate

Increase/Decrease in Success in the Workforce

This is a composite measurement of the comparison of two separate State ranking scores – thepercentage point change between the Job Retention Rate achieved in the performance year (FY

2001) and the prior year (FY 2000), and the percentage point change between the Earnings Gain

Rate achieved in the performance year (FY 2001) and the prior year (FY 2000). Ranks are

equally weighted, combined and then re-ranked.





Non-Work Measures

Medicaid/SCHIP Enrollment Rate

This is a measure of the number of recipients in the performance year (FY 2001) who leaveTANF and are enrolled in the Medicaid/SCHIP program both at the time of leaving and in the

fourth month after leaving, as a percent of all recipients who leave TANF and were enrolled at

time of leaving.

Sum of recipients in each of Quarters 1 through 4 who leave TANF and are enrolled

in Medicaid/SCHIP both at time of leaving and in the fourth month after leaving----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- x 100

Total number of individuals who leave TANF who are enrolled in Medicaid/SCHIP

at time of leaving TANF

Increase/Decrease in Medicaid Enrollment Rate

This measure compares the percentage point change between the Medicaid/SCHIP enrollment

rate achieved in the performance year (FY 2001) and in the prior year (FY 2000).

FY 2001 Medicaid/SCHIP Enrollment Rate minus FY2000 Medicaid/Enrollment Rate

Food Stamp Rate

This is a measure of the percent of low-income working households with children under 18 in the

performance year (CY 2001) who participate in the Food Stamp program. Basic calendar yeardata were provided by the Bureau of the Census. The formula for the calculation is as follows:

Number of low-income working households with children under 18 participating in

the Food Stamp program in CY 2001---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- x 100

Total number of low-income working households with children under 18 in CY 2001

Increase/Decrease in Food Stamp Participation Rate

This measure compares the percentage point change between the Food Stamp participation rate

achieved in the performance year (CY 2001) and the prior year (CY2000).

CY 2001 Food Stamp Rate minus CY 2000 Food Stamp Rate





Child Care Subsidy Rate

This measure consists of two components for the FY 2001 performance year – the percent of

eligible children served and the affordability of care for the families of the children as indicatedby the relationship between the State’s reported CCDF (Child Care Development Fund) co-

payments and the reported family income. Each State’s FY 2001 performance year rank on thismeasure is a composite weighted score of the two components – the component on percent of

children served having a weight of 6 and the family co-payment component having a weight of

4.

Child Care Accessibility Component:

Number of children served under the CCDF requirements

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ x 100

Number of children in the State eligible to receive CCDF services

Child Care Affordability Component:

The following comparison of assessed family co-payment to family income in FY 2001

performance year was computed across four income ranges. The income ranges are: 1) incomebelow the poverty level; 2) income at least 100 percent and below 125 percent of poverty; 3)

income at least 125 percent and below 150 percent of poverty; 4) income at least 150 percent and

below 175 percent of poverty.

Reported assessed family FY 2001 performance year co-payment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- x 100Reported FY 2001 family income across all four income ranges

Also incorporated in the affordability rate is the following computation:

Number of potentially-eligible children served with CCDF funds in FY 2001---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- x 100

Number of eligible children under the Federal criteria in FY 2001





Increase/Decrease in Family Formation and Stability Rate

Bonuses are awarded only to the ten States with the greatest percentage point improvement on

this measure. For the FY 2002 bonus year, this measure compares the percentage point changebetween the Family Formation and Stability rate achieved in the performance year (CY 2001)

and the prior year (CY 2000).

The formula for computing the rate for the CY 2000 performance year is:

Number of children who reside in married couple families

------------------------------------------------------------------------- x 100Number of married couple families

The formula for computing the CY 2001 percentage point improvement rate is:

CY 2001 performance rate minus the CY 2000 performance rate
