OMB 1205-0040 Non Substantive Change Request,

ETA 9120, SCSEP Participant Form

ETA asks that OMB approve a single addition to the SCSEP Participant Form, ETA-9120 (OMB 1205-0040).  ETA offices and DOL‘s Veterans’ Employment and Training Office have requested that the SCSEP program capture post-9/11 era veteran participants as part of our existing field #25, a check box, which asks for whether the participant is a qualified veteran or spouse.  Because few eligible SCSEP participants would be post-9/11 veterans, few would check the additional box indicating post-9/11 status.   Please note that grantees are already required to ask applicants if they are veterans and, if they are, to obtain documentation both for Data Validation and for Vets’ priority of service. Therefore no measurable burden is anticipated for this request.
