Metrics That Matter For States Under H.R. 1
This blog post serves as a guide for state agencies to develop flexible and actionable metrics systems for tracking the implementation and impact of new work requirements under H.R. 1.
The resource outlines a strategic framework for capturing data that reflects both policy compliance and the lived experience of Medicaid and SNAP beneficiaries.
It recommends convening cross-functional teams—including experts in policy, operations, and engineering—to define key metrics, such as the number of individuals exempt from requirements or those whose benefits have been terminated due to non-compliance. Furthermore, the guide emphasizes the importance of data documentation and the use of “data elements” as building blocks to ensure that tracking systems remain adaptable to future policy changes.
