Program_Budget_Form.doc

This is a Program Budget Form attachment for a Purchase of Service contract with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, specifically related to the Refugee Employment and Skills Enhancement Training (RESET) Program operated by the Office for Refugees and Immigrants (ORI) in Springfield. The form provides a standardized template for contractors to submit detailed fiscal year budgets organized by cost categories including direct care and program support staff with associated payroll taxes and fringe benefits, occupancy and facility operation costs, other direct care and program support expenses such as consulting, training, client transportation, and program supplies, and direct administrative expenses. The budget structure accommodates both current amendments and new fiscal year submissions, allowing contractors to specify full-time equivalents (FTEs) and corresponding dollar amounts for each line item.

The budget form is designed for cost reimbursement contracts and requires contractors to identify reimbursable costs separately from non-reimbursable costs, with the latter requiring detailed documentation on Attachment 5 for programs subject to Federal OMB Circular A-122 and Massachusetts 808 CMR 1.00 regulations. Contractors must specify their board-approved capitalization levels for negotiated expense costs and indicate any commercial fees applicable to for-profit entities. The form also requires allocation of agency administrative support costs as a percentage and dollar amount. The RESET program is federally funded under the Massachusetts Refugee Resettlement Program (MRRP) and provides integrated employment services including ESOL/VESOL training, employment counseling, and workforce development to eligible refugees in Springfield to support economic self-sufficiency.
