First deposit August 25, 2023; quarter 0 (Q3 2023) is the baseline though it includes about one month of transfers; quarter months follow the paper (quarter 2 = six months, quarter 5 = fifteen months). Administrative data linked by the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office; ER admissions, SNAP/TANF, and card spending also analyzed. Phone interviews reached 42 of 93 (20 treatment, 22 control). An earlier registration (AEARCTR-0008509, 2021) planned this design (40 vs 60, $200 vs $10, from 2022) and listed mental health among baseline survey topics, but no mental health results are reported."

The cash was disclosed only after an assigned participant began Miracle Friends, so only 103 received it; no ongoing conditions are described and the reports call it unconditional. T111-1 isolates the cash (both arms had phone buddies); T111-2 compares cash plus phone buddy with the waitlist, which the reports emphasize. The final report compares completers who received an intervention (Miracle Money n=88, Miracle Friends n=40, waitlist n=107), not everyone randomized. All arms were paid $30 per survey (baseline and five quarterly surveys). Survey months are from baseline; payments began once participants engaged with Miracle Friends, soon after baseline (the 6-month interim comparison used recipients with at least six payments). The reports give employment at 'follow-up' at the end of the study, coded here as the 15-month survey. The interim report (6 months) presents only unsheltered status and unmet basic needs (Miracle Money n=69 vs waitlist n=86), so registered:NCT05408884_2 holds no mental health or employment results. Loneliness (UCLA 3-item) and substance use are also reported. Years run from recruitment start to the planned end of data collection; payments ran in 2022-2024. The Trials 2024 protocol and a forthcoming Social Work Research article are not among the files."
