Why is TANF administrative total only $9.6B? #65
Comments
CC UBI folks in case this affects your analysis: @Amy-Xu @andersonfrailey @martinholmer @MattHJensen |
@MaxGhenis Thanks for point this out. It appears that I modified the targets on my local computer and have not opened a PR yet for the targets. Do you mind tag me next time you open an issue? Somehow I did't get notified for any issues you opened and many of them are very valuable. Much appreciated! |
To answer your question, the initial version of TANF targets, currently in the repo, are for the 'Assistance' portion of benefits. Later on I added 'non-assitance' portion, both portions sum up to 29 billion for 2014. Both categories include cash and non-cash benefits. Their differences are quite definitional. |
Sure. Thanks for tackling this one. |
Since this issue has been fixed, closing it now. Thanks @MaxGhenis! |
TANF_Administrative.csv totals $9.6B. However, HHS says the budget has been $17.3B for 2016-2018, and the updated C-TAM documentation says:
Offering the footnote:
Tax-Calculator CPS records total $8.8B in TANF:
Advancing Tax-Calculator to 2018 yields an even lower TANF total of $7.8B.
Are these numbers intended to be so low? What's the source of TANF_Administrative.csv?
