Title of the Collection: Understanding Economic Risk for Low Income Families: Economic Security, Program Benefits, and Decisions about Work. Type of Collection: New. OMB No.: 0990–XXXX. Abstract: The primary purpose of this study is to identify the risks that federal program benefit recipients weigh when faced with an opportunity to increase earnings, including benefit reductions, earnings instability and the ease of regaining lost benefits if needed. The study will use a discrete choice experiment to explore the importance of these considerations when low-income individuals are presented with a hypothetical opportunity to increase earnings. Statistical analysis will explore interactions between factors and threshold effects. The focus population will be persons currently receiving benefits from at least one of the following programs: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid/Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), housing assistance, Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) subsidies, and/or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The study will explore whether different preferences are exhibited by parents with children and by persons of different races and ethnicities. The results of this study will provide HHS with a better understanding of the economic risks that people weigh when they make decisions about increasing earnings, which will inform HHS policy and programs at large, and further lines of research around benefit programs and employment decisions. The length of the request for data collection is one year. The data will be collected once, using primarily a webbased survey, from a sample of lowincome persons receiving one or more federal benefit programs. The survey consists of five vignettes presenting different combinations of experimental conditions surrounding a hypothetical earnings increase. In each vignette, respondents will be presented with a scenario where a hypothetical individual is presented with an opportunity to increase their earnings (by accepting a higher hourly wage); consequences of the earnings increase for his or her receipt of benefits; the risk of going back down to the lower, original hourly wage at a later time; and the prospect of re-applying for lost benefits. Respondents will be asked to review the vignette and choose whether they think the hypothetical individual should accept the earnings increase. In addition, the questionnaire includes follow-up questions for each vignette/ experimental condition, and a set of demographic questions. tkelley on DSK125TN23PROD with NOTICE ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOUR TABLE Number of respondents Number of responses per respondents Average burden per response Total burden hours Approximately 2,000 .................................................................................................................... 1 20/60 667 Sherrette A.
