5. Attachment C - Proposed Fiscal Year Program Budget.xlsx

This file is a Proposed Fiscal Year Program Budget template for the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) Administrative Services Organization (ASO) contract. The budget document is designed to capture expected costs during the program period, excluding initial implementation expenses, and includes multiple budget categories organized by Uniform Financial Reporting (UFR) codes. The template encompasses Personnel costs (including salaries, payroll taxes, and fringe benefits), Occupancy expenses (facilities and facility operations/maintenance/furnishings), Other Program Support costs (consultants for CRMS, website, and technology; temporary help; training; travel; meals; materials; and commercial products and services), and Direct Administrative Expenses. The budget structure allows for proposed amounts, amendments, and changes across Fiscal Year categories, with subtotals for each major section and a final Program Total that incorporates an Agency Administrative Support Allocation percentage.

The budget form provides detailed UFR staff title classifications ranging from Program Function Managers through various clinical and administrative positions, including physicians, nurses, social workers, counselors, case managers, and support staff, along with expense categories for overtime, shift differentials, and relief staff. All line items require narrative explanations, and the template indicates that rows may be added as needed to accommodate program-specific requirements. The document emphasizes that budget projections should reflect ongoing program operations rather than one-time startup costs, with all monetary amounts currently displayed as zero dollars pending contractor completion and submission.
