Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: Job Search Assistance (JSA)
Strategies Evaluation.
OMB No.: 0970–0440.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing a data collection activity as
part of the Job Search Assistance (JSA)
Strategies Evaluation. The JSA
evaluation will aim to determine which
JSA strategies are most effective in
moving TANF applicants and recipients
into work. The impact study will
randomly assign individuals to
contrasting JSA approaches and then
compare their employment and earnings
to determine their relative effectiveness.
The implementation study will describe
services participants receive under each
approach as well as provide operational
lessons gathered directly from
practitioners.
The proposed information collection
activity consists of: (1) Baseline data
collection: Collection of baseline data
from TANF recipients at the time of
enrollment in the study; (2)
Implementation study site visits:
Conducting site visits for the purpose of
documenting the program context,
program organization and staffing, the
components JSA services, and other
relevant aspects of the TANF program.
During the visits, site teams will
interview key administrators and line
staff using a semi-structured interview
guide; and (3) a JSA staff survey. This
on-line survey, administered to TANF
supervisory and line staff involved in
JSA activities, will be used as part of the
implementation study to systematically
document program operations and the
type of JSA services provided across the
study sites.
Respondents: JSA program staff and
individuals enrolled in the JSA study.
