SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Status of the Forces Survey
of Active Duty Members; OMB Control Number: 0704-0624.
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 is 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 2024. The legal requirements for
the SOFS-A can be found in the Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense
Authorization Act, 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.
