EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Background The Benefit Bank of Texas (TBB-TXTM) is a web-based service that is free to clients and creates a “one-stop-shop” for families who wish to apply for benefits and file income taxes. TBB-TXTM centralizes the process of applying for benefits by providing an eligibility assessment so that families are aware of the federal and state benefits, as well as tax credits for which they are eligible. Through TBB-TXTM, clients are able to determine their eligibility and, subsequently, apply for food benefits (Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program [SNAP]), medical assistance (Children’s Health Insurance Program [CHIP] and Medicaid), and financial assistance (Temporary Aid to Needy Families [TANF]). State-wide Overview Texas Health Institute has spear-headed the implementation and growth of TBB-TXTM throughout Texas. Since implementation began and the first site opened in Amarillo in October, 2011, TBB-TXTM has grown to 153 operational sites canvassing several regions of Texas. This document reports implementation results for six distinct regions of Texas within a reporting period of July 1, 2013 – July 31, 2013. As of July 31, 2013, 2,320 clients from 2,062 distinct households have used TBB-TXTM services. The households served by TBB-TXTM include 1,798 children, 2,517 adults, and 226 seniors. From July 1, 2013 to July 31, 2013 TBB-TXTM has experienced the following growth:

4 new sites 20 counselors trained 134 new clients 149 households served 291 household members served

Clients using TBB-TXTM have utilized the full spectrum of services offered. TBB-TXTM services have been well-utilized for filing tax returns, as well as for applying for food benefits, Medicaid/CHIP, and TANF. Specifically, the service has been most utilized for applying for food benefits, with 81 eligible out of 109 total clients applying for SNAP, followed by applications for medical benefits (46 clients). During the month of June, clients have applied for the following benefits:

109 clients have applied for food benefits (SNAP) for their household 46 clients have applied for medical benefits (Medicaid and CHIP) for their household 18 clients have applied for financial assistance (TANF) for their household

Among clients applying, almost three-fourths (74%) were in households eligible for SNAP, and over four-fifths were eligible for Medicaid and/or CHIP (91%). Families using TBB-TXTM have received benefits valued at an estimated $456,747 for the month of July. The breakdown by benefit of number of clients eligible and dollar valuation of benefits is shown in the following table:

Program Households Number of Persons in Households

Overview by Region Currently, TBB-TXTM has been actively implemented in five regions in Texas: Region 1, the “High Plains Region”, including Amarillo and surrounding areas; Region 3, the “Metroplex Region”, including the Dallas-Fort Worth area; Region 6, the “Gulf Coast Region”, including Houston, Corpus Christi, Galveston and nearby areas; Region 7, the “Central Texas Region”, including Bastrop, Georgetown, and surrounding areas of Central Texas; Region 8, the “Upper South Texas Region,” including San Antonio and surrounding areas; and Region 11, the “Lower South Texas Region,” including Rio Grande Valley and surrounding areas. Region 1, the High Plains region, is home to the first and longest-running sites to-date. Since beginning with three initial sites in October, the number of sites has continued to expand and the number of clients served continues to grow. Some of the newest sites are found in Region 11, the Lower South Texas Region. The regional summary of clients served and value of benefits awarded is shown below:

Future Sites Texas Health Institute continues to build TBB-TXTM capacity in communities within regions with currently active sites, as well as within regions that will serve as the home for future sites. Texas Health Institute plans to operationalize new sites within these regions, including the training of counselors, and expansion into additional regions, is in progress.

DATA AND METHODOLOGY FOR ELIGIBILITY AND VALUE ESTIMATES The data presented in this report for all sections derives from the Texas Benefit Bank Solutions for Progress Web-Based Reporting Platform. The eligibility and value estimates are based on the methodology and reporting used by Solutions for Progress. This methodology is explained below. Eligibility Assessments and Valuations TBB-TXTM provides eligibility assessments for Texas SNAP Food Benefits and for Health Care Benefits (Medicaid for Families and CHIP). TBB-TXTM eligibility assessments are based on Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) administrative policy but are not eligibility determinations. Only HHSC can make an eligibility determination. HHSC does not share information with Solutions for Progress regarding the outcome of a submitted application when the state makes this data available in aggregate form it will be added to the evaluation reports. TBB-TXTM makes use of Kaiser Family Foundation’s State Health Facts data set (http://www.statehealthfacts.org/) to estimate the valuation of medical benefits. The State Health Facts data set captures the federal government’s Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services reported spending per state per enrollee for adults, children, disabled, and seniors users. Note that since these estimates are based on averages, the actual value of services consumed will vary by enrollee and the particulars of their usage of covered medical services.
