REPORT TO THE THIRTY-THIRD HAWAII STATE LEGISLATURE 2025

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 346-51.5, HAWAII REVISED STATUTES, ON THE TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES and TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR OTHER NEEDY FAMILIES PROGRAMS

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES Benefit, Employment and Support Services Division March 2025

2 Section 346-51.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), requires the Department of Human Services (DHS) to prepare a report on the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Temporary Assistance for Other Needy Families (TAONF) programs that include:

1) A plan for expenditure of TANF funds to include, a) details of how the funds received under TANF shall be expended; and b) descriptions of the desired outcomes from the expenditure of the funds; and 2) A report about a) the continuing strategic planning process, with the assistance of the Financial Assistance Advisory Council, to involve the community in planning for the future use of TANF funds and setting annual goals and outcomes for existing and new programs receiving TANF; b) on the effectiveness and level of success in reaching the desired outcomes from the previous two fiscal years using TANF funds; and c) on any funds received and expended supplemental to the TANF block grant, the purposes for which the funds were expended; and outcomes achieved.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is a federal block grant program. The TANF program requirements are in accordance with the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Public Law 104-193 (“Welfare Reform”). Before the Welfare Reform, the Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program did not distinguish between citizen or non-citizen or single or two-parent households. However, the 1996 Welfare Reform limited TANF eligibility to US citizens, single or two-parent households with dependent minor children, and certain single-parent immigrant households.

Recognizing the diversity of Hawaii's families and consistent with Article IX, Section 3, of the State Constitution, the Legislature created the state-funded Temporary Assistance for Other Needy Families (TAONF) program to continue to provide financial assistance to families that were eligible for benefits through AFDC but would no longer be eligible through TANF due to their citizenship status. The state-funded TAONF program rules mirror TANF program rules and provide the same benefits and services to Hawaii's needy families with children, including mixed citizenship or non-citizenship single and two-parent households. Importantly, the general fund appropriation for TAONF also serves as a major portion of the State's Maintenance of Effort required to receive the TANF block grant.

The TANF and TAONF programs are time-limited financial assistance programs for families with dependent children under 18 years old. Families may receive no more than sixty (60) months of financial assistance benefits in their lifetime through the TANF or TAONF program. Family participation in the TANF or TAONF program depends on the household composition. When all members are US citizens, the family is eligible for federal-funded financial benefits under TANF. Families with at least one non-citizen family member are eligible for state-funded

3

benefits under TAONF. Other than the funding sources, the TANF and TAONF programs are identical.

These programs provide temporary financial relief to families and stabilize their current financial situation through participation in the First-To-Work (FTW) program. TANF and TAONF recipient families must participate in the FTW program, which provides education and vocational training support, job readiness training, job search assistance, employment placement services, case management, counseling services, and other supportive services so families may obtain and maintain employment. In addition, families may receive child care subsidies, assistance with transportation costs, work, and education-related expenses while engaged in the FTW program to ensure their success.

The TANF and TAONF programs provide families with monthly financial benefits that can be expended for food, clothing, shelter, and other essentials. To qualify for this assistance, a family must include a child under 18 and have a total gross income below 185% of Hawaii’s 2006 Federal Poverty Level. This means the monthly gross income must be less than $2,941 for a household of three persons.

Effective April 18, 2023, assets are no longer considered when determining eligibility for financial benefits under the TANF and TAONF programs [see Act 18, Session Laws of Hawaii 2013].

Effective March 1, 2025, the TANF and TAONF monthly assistance allowance (i.e., financial assistance benefits) increases from 48% to 62% of the standard of need.1 Eligible TANF and TAONF recipient families will see an increase in their monthly financial benefits. For example, a recipient family of three with no income will see a change from $610 (with the 20% reduction) to $789, an increase of $179 per month.

1 In accordance with section 346-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, the monthly assistance allowance is a percentage of the standard of need which is based on the 2006 federal poverty level for Hawaii. The monthly assistance allowance cannot be lower than 48% but no higher than 62.5% of the standard of need.

4 CASELOAD OVERVIEW

The average monthly caseloads for TANF and TAONF in SFY 2024 were 2,590 and 402, respectively, for an average monthly total of 2,992 cases, about a 12% decrease from SFY 2023 and about 31.4% less than SFY 2019 or pre-pandemic (4,360 total monthly average).

5 B. TANF Measures of Effectiveness and Level of Success in Reaching Outcomes

The outcomes for the TANF Program, as reflected in the State Budget, are as follows:

1. Percentage of Households Determined Eligible for TANF Assistance SFY 2024 Planned = 20% SFY 2024 Actual = 10.4% average per month SFY 2025 Planned = 10%

2. Percentage of TANF Recipients in Work Program Exiting Due to Employment SFY 2024 Planned = 13% average per month

SFY 2024 Actual = 12.8% average per month SFY 2025 Planned = 13% For SFY 2024, the average wage of employed work program participants who exited TANF was $14.20/hour. Based on 30 employment hours per week, the estimated gross earnings of $1,846 per month would allow a family of three to be eligible for TANF benefits.

3. Percentage of TANF Recipients Who Obtained Employment SFY 2024 Planned = 21% (average per month) SFY 2024 Actual = 21% of recipient families (average per month)

SFY 2025 Planned = 21% (average per month)

4. Percentage of TANF Households Exited Due to Earnings SFY 2024 Planned = 16% SFY 2024 Actual = Of the total families who exited TANF each month, 13% of the families exited due to earned income (average per month) SFY 2025 Planned = 14%

5. Supporting Employment Empowerment (SEE) Hawaii Work Program DHS implemented the SEE Program in 2006 to provide on-the-job training and employment opportunities with private-sector employers for First-To-Work (FTW) Program participants who may have little or no work experience or basic work skills. Participants employed through the SEE Program may work a minimum of 24 hours per week for up to six (6) months. Participating employers pay SEE employees' (FTW participants) wages and benefits. The State reimburses the employers 100% of the State's hourly minimum wage. For each additional $1.00 per hour paid to the SEE employee, the State reimburses the

6

employer $0.50. The maximum hourly rate paid to the employee that may be subsidized is $20.00, and the employee may work no more than 40 hours/week. Employers also are reimbursed 14% of the subsidized wages to cover the cost of training and other employment-related costs and overhead expenses. Additionally, the State provides SEE employees supportive service payments such as transportation and child care assistance. a) Participants Employed Through the SEE Program: SFY 2023 = 135 employed (unduplicated) FTW participants SFY 2024 = 101 employed (unduplicated) FTW participants b) Average Work Hours and Wage: SFY 2023 = Average of 32 hours/week for an average wage of $15.35/hour SFY 2024 = Average of 31 hours/week for an average wage of $17.10/hour c) Transitioned from Subsidized to Unsubsidized Employment: SFY 2023 = 0% transitioned from SEE to unsubsidized employment SFY 2024 = 1% transitioned from SEE to unsubsidized employment There is a workforce demand by employers to hire for their vacant positions. Employers opted to hire participants directly into unsubsidized employment by passing the opportunity to subsidize their vacant positions. d) Businesses Participated in the SEE Program: Please refer to Attachment 3, Supporting Employment Empowerment (SEE) Program Participating Hawaii Businesses. SFY 2023 = 214 SEE employers SFY 2024 = 80 SEE employers

6. Work Participation Rates The Federal government mandates that states meet two work participation rates as a condition of receiving and expending TANF Federal Block Grant and State Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements. a) All-Family Participation Rate of 50%: Of all TANF recipient cases that have at least one work-eligible individual who is complying with their federally mandated work activities. The 50% compliance rate for the All-Family Participation Rate is the federal baseline before factoring in the caseload reduction credit, the credit to the State for declining assistance caseloads.1 Hawaii's Caseload Reduction Credit

7

for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2024 is estimated to be 81.3%. The adjusted All- Family Participation Rate requirement to be met is zero percent (50% - 81.3% = 0%).2 As of February 2025, 15.6% of mandatory households met the work participation requirements for FFY 2024. Therefore, Hawaii is expected to exceed the required participation by 15.6% compared to zero percent. Mandatory Households Meeting All-Family Participation Rate Requirements FFY 2024 Planned = 15% Actual = 15.6% (prior to the application of the Caseload Reduction Credit)

FFY 2025 Planned = 15% (prior to the application of the Caseload Reduction Credit) b) Two-Parent Participation Rate of 90%: Of all TANF recipient cases that have two work-eligible parents who are complying with their federally mandated work activities. The 90% compliance rate for the Two-Parent Participation Rate is the federal baseline before factoring in the Caseload Reduction Credit. The same estimated Caseload Reduction Credit for FFY 2024 of 81.3% can be applied. The adjusted Two-Parent Participation Rate to be met is 21.5% (90% - 81.3% = 8.7%). As of February 2025, 27.9% of mandatory two-parent met the work participation requirements for FFY 2024. Therefore, Hawaii is expected to meet the required Two-Parent Participation Rate of 27.9% compared to 8.7%.

Mandatory Households Meeting Two-Parent Participation Rate Requirements FFY 2024 Planned = 20% FFY 2024 Actual = 27.9% (prior to the application of the caseload reduction credit) FY 2025 Planned = 27% (prior to the application of the caseload reduction credit)

2 Pursuant to Section 407(b)(3) of the Social Security Act (the Act), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), reduces a state’s required participation rate for a Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) when the number of percentage points that the average monthly number of families receiving assistance during the year immediately preceding the current fiscal year is less than the average monthly number of families that received assistance during the comparison year (FFY 1995). The statute prohibits this reduction from including any caseload declines due to requirements of Federal law or due to differences in state eligibility criteria. The reduction in the participation rate is referred to as the Caseload Reduction Credit.

8 7. Supplemental Funding In addition to the annual TANF Block Grant, states may be eligible to receive a portion of the TANF Contingency Fund. The TANF Contingency Fund provides funding for states to provide benefits and services to needy families in times of economic downturns. A state may receive 1/12 of 20 percent of its annual block grant for each month that it qualifies as an "eligible state." If the State qualifies for the TANF Contingency Fund for the full fiscal year, such expenditures are multiplied by the State's Medicaid match rate to determine the amount that the State may keep. However, if the State is eligible for less than the entire year, the match rate is reduced by the fraction of the year that the State qualified as an "eligible state." Thus, a state may receive up to 20 percent of its TANF Block Grant if eligible for an entire year. To qualify for and expend TANF contingency funds, States must spend Maintenance of Effort (MOE) State dollars that equal 100% of the State's share of the FFY 1994 expenditures under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) programs (i.e., pre-TANF), and meet one of two "needy state" triggers:

1. High Unemployment Rate: An unemployment rate for a 3-month period that is at least 6.5 percent and 100 percent of the rate for the corresponding period in either of the two preceding calendar years; or 2. High Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Caseloads: A SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps) caseload that is 10 percent over the FY 1994-1995 level (adjusted for the impact of the 1995 welfare reform law's immigrant and Food Stamp provisions on the Food Stamp caseload).

Due to the MOE State expenditure requirement and available federal TANF reserve, the Department did not apply for the FFY 2024 TANF Contingency Funds.
