The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) requests OMB clearance for three data collection activities for the Job Search Assistance (JSA) Strategies Evaluation. The goal of the JSA evaluation is to determine what type of job search assistance strategies are most effective in helping Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and other cash assistance applicants and recipients find employment and increase their earnings. The JSA Evaluation contains both an impact study and an implementation study. The impact study will randomly assign individuals to different approaches for providing job search assistance and then will compare their employment and earnings to determine their relative effectiveness in moving TANF recipients to work and increasing their earnings. The implementation study will document services received under each approach for providing job search assistance and provide operational lessons. In October 2013, the JSA Evaluation received approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a first set of data collection instruments for the JSA Evaluation, specifically for the field assessment and site selection process. The current submission seeks OMB approval for three additional data collection efforts related to a follow-up survey data administered to sample members: Contact update form, interim tracking surveys, and a six-month follow-up survey.
