Program_Budget_Form.doc

This is a Program Budget Form used by the Massachusetts Office for Refugees for cost reimbursement contracting related to the Refugee Employment and Skills Enhancement Training (RESET) Program. The form is designed to capture comprehensive budget information for service providers delivering ESOL/VESOL, employment, employability, and workforce training services to eligible refugees. The budget template accommodates multiple fiscal years and allows for tracking current amendments and new funding allocations, with sections for documenting changes in Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) and associated costs across various budget categories.

The form structure organizes reimbursable costs into five primary categories: Direct Care/Program Support Staff (including salaries, payroll taxes, and fringe benefits); Occupancy costs (facility operations, maintenance, and furnishings); Other Direct Care/Program Support (covering consultants, temporary help, client stipends, subcontracts, training, transportation, supplies, and client wages); Direct Administrative Expenses (program support and administrative allocation); and Agency Administrative Support. The budget includes provisions for contractor board-approved capitalization levels for specific expense categories and requires detailed documentation of non-reimbursable costs on separate attachments when subject to Federal OMB Circular A-122 and Massachusetts 808 CMR 1.00 regulations. For-profit contractors may include commercial fees for informational purposes only, though such fees are not included in Commonwealth reimbursement for cost reimbursement contracts.
