SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL funds the Reemployment Services and
Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Evidence Building Portfolio Project
programs in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the
Virgin Islands. States and territories use these funds to address the
reemployment services needs of Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants
and to prevent and detect UI improper payments. DOL's Chief Evaluation
Office contracted with Abt Global and its partners, the W.E. Upjohn
Institute, the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), American Institutes for
Research (AIR), and the National Association of State Workforce
Agencies--to develop strategies to support the evidence requirements
for the RESEA program as enacted in 2018 amendments to the Social
Security Act that permanently authorized RESEA. This Evidence Building
Portfolio Project will help DOL establish rigorous and informative
evidence standards and support states in conducting evaluations to
expand the evidence base on effective RESEA interventions. The evidence
standards and new evidence will each help states develop and implement
RESEA programs that more quickly and cost-effectively return more
claimants from UI back to work. For additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal
Register on August 8, 2024 (89 FR 64961).

generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than

a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
