Needs and Uses: The Status of Forces Reserve Survey (SOFS-R) is an
annual DoD-wide large-scale survey of Reserve Component 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, food security and suicide awareness. In 2023,
the survey will also include a section on the Yellow Ribbon
Reintegration Program. 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 in 2023. The legal requirements for the SOFS-R can be found
in the FY2016 NDAA, Title VI, Subtitle F, Subpart 661. This legal
requirement mandates that the SOFS-R 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.
