The Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is conducting a three-year evaluation to develop strategies to support the evidence requirements for the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program that were enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-123; hereafter the “BBA”). DOL requests minor changes to the evaluation’s data collection instruments to ensure the study is capturing how the COVID-19 pandemic might be affecting states’ RESEA programs and the context in which their state’s UI system and programs are operating. The requested changes include: - Interview protocols: o A small new section up front to learn about RESEA programs’ current operational status and response to COVID-19. o Minor questions throughout related to COVID-19. o Minor adjustments to update the FY since this instrument was drafted. - Survey: o This instrument has added 7 items due to COVID-19. o Minor edits to existing questions to reflect a range of anticipated potential new circumstances due to COVID-19 (e.g., virtual orientation, remote services).

DOL requests minor changes to the evaluation’s data collection instruments to ensure the study is capturing how the COVID-19 pandemic might be affecting states’ RESEA programs and the context in which their state’s UI system and programs are operating. Additionally, DOL’s study plans to field the survey three times, instead of just once, which will enable the evaluation to capture states’ plans before COVID-19 as well as at two points since the pandemic became more widespread. These requested changes result in extremely minimal changes to the burden estimates, however, based on the actual average burden per response observed during the survey’s first fielding in February 2020 (40-45 minutes), which is much less than the initially approved burden estimate (2 hours).
