Type of Review: New collection (Request for a new OMB control number). Affected Public: Individuals. Estimated Number of Respondents: 10,000. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,792. Abstract: Beginning in late 2014, CFPB will launch a Financial Coaching project to provide direct financial coaching services to transitioning veterans and economically vulnerable consumers nationwide. Over three years, it is estimated that tens of thousands of consumers will be served. In order for CFPB to understand whether the program is effective and for the financial coaches to be able to deliver efficient services and track clients over time, CFPB will need to take steps to evaluate the program. This will include a process evaluation to examine program implementation and an outcomes evaluation to examine program effects on clients. The process and outcome evaluations will involve three key data collection efforts: Administrative data collected about clients by financial coaches for programmatic purposes; interview data collected by evaluators from key informants such as coaching clients, financial coaches and program administrators; and self-reported survey data from coaches and coaching clients. The information to be collected from clients will likely include a combination of personal information (basic contact and demographic information), performance metrics (outputs), clientlevel outcomes (progress towards financial goals or other relevant outcomes) and programmatic and organizational outcomes.
