Type of Review: New ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households; Private Sector. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 74,000.

The Joint Consolidation Loan Separation Act (JCLSA), amended the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) to allow joint consolidation co-borrowers to apply to separate an existing joint Direct Consolidation Loan or Federal Consolidation Loan into individual Direct Consolidation Loans.

Unless the coborrowers agree on an alternate amount specified in a divorce decree, court order, or settlement agreement, each coborrowers new individual Direct Consolidation Loan will be made for an amount equal to the co-borrowers’ portion of the remaining outstanding balance of the joint consolidation loan. Under the separate application option, a co-borrower who certifies that they have experienced an act of domestic violence or economic abuse from the other coborrower, or that they are unable to reasonably reach or access the loan information of the other co-borrower, may apply separately for a new individual Direct Consolidation Loan, without regard to whether or when the other co-borrower applies. In this circumstance, the applying coborrowers new Direct Consolidation Loan will be made for an amount equal to that individual’s portion of the joint consolidation loan, determined as described above for the joint application option.

Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,866. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,005. Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education’s Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) requests clearance for new data collection activities to support the evaluation of the Disability Innovation Fund (DIF) Subminimum Wage to Competitive Integrated Employment (SWTCIE) program.

Advocacy, policy, and practice have evolved in recent decades toward a shift to CIE, as reflected in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, which provides funding for the DIF SWITCIE program awarded in fiscal year 2022. This request covers primary data collection activities, including survey data, administrative data, site visits, and focus groups.
