Title: Veteran Financial and Credit Counseling Services Study.

Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: Section 313 of the Joseph Maxwell Cleland and Robert
Joseph Dole Memorial Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement
(Cleland-Dole) Act of 2022 (Pub. L. 117-328) requires the VA to conduct
a study on financial and credit counseling by querying financial and
credit counselors, homeless programs providers, and subject matters
experts regarding the use of financial and credit counseling services.
The intent of this study is to identify financial and credit counseling
needs of Veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing
homelessness, the financial and credit counseling services offered to
these Veterans, the specific barriers that these Veterans have in
accessing these financial and credit counseling services, and the
effects of financial and credit counseling services on such outcomes as
employment, housing status, income, and credit score. The information
collected will be used to inform VA policy makers, program managers,
and process improvement investigators about how to enhance financial
and credit counseling services that are offered to Veterans
experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness. The
results of this study, which will not include personally identifiable
information about the individual respondents, will be shared with
Congress via a congressionally mandated report.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published at 88 FR 47948-47949 on July 25, 2023.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 567 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 20 minutes.
