SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Status of the Forces Survey
of Active Duty Members; OMB Control Number 0704-SOFA.

Needs and Uses: The Status of Forces Active Duty Survey (SOFS-A) is
an annual DoD-wide large-scale survey of active duty members that is
used in evaluating existing policies and programs, establishing
baseline measures before implementing new policies and programs, and
monitoring the progress of existing policies/programs. The survey
assesses topics such as financial well-being, retention intention,
stress, tempo, readiness, and suicide awareness. Data are aggregated by
appropriate demographics, including Service, paygrade, gender, race/
ethnicity, and other indicators. In order to be able to meet reporting
requirements for DoD leadership, the Military Services, and Congress,
the survey needs to be completed by winter 2021. The legal requirements
for the SOFS-A can be found in the FY2016 NDAA, Title VI, Subtitle F,
Subpart 661. This legal requirement mandates that the SOFS-A solicit
information on financial literacy and preparedness. Results will be
used by the Service Secretaries to evaluate and update financial
literacy training and will be submitted in a report to the Committees
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
