Information Collection).
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Veterans Experience Action
Center (VEAC) is a Veterans Affairs (VA)
program established to proactively assist
Veterans in a selected state with a onestop resource for all their needs. The
VEAC brings together VA benefits,
health care and other resources in
partnership with state VA resources.
The VEAC gathers feedback from
Veterans, Active Military, Guard/
Reservist, Family members, caregivers,
providers, and survivors. The VEAC
then provides that feedback to VA
leaders to measure the success of the
outreach event and measure the ease,
effectiveness, emotion, and trust from
the participants as they exit.
The surveys will further allow the
Veterans Experience Office (VEO) to
measure whether the needs of the
participants were met. Additional areas
where the survey results will impact:
• Identifies gaps and challenges in
health care, benefits, and service
delivery.
• Identifies areas for how VA can best
support local efforts in a holistic
fashion.
• Identifies areas where there may be
barriers to access, and outreach tailored
to local communities.
Per FY2021 MILCON House report
116–445, the Committee directs the VA
to provide quarterly reports on the
status of the implementation of the
VEAC pilot program; the effectiveness of
the pilot program at reaching Veterans,
particularly those in need, and
increasing utilization of VA services:

• Congress (Quarterly Congressional
Tracking Reports (CTRs).
VEAC surveys afford VEAC
participants the ability to provide
feedback to VA and allow the customer
to share their experiences. VEO uses the
customer’s feedback to enhance and
increase outreach and engagement
efforts and determine the direct value of
our efforts.
The surveys and its delivery are an
innovative approach to measure and
improve customer experience based on
the ‘‘voice of the Veteran.’’ Through the
use of the VSignals digital platform,
VEO can identify gaps and challenges in
the community, provide information on
VA programs, increase access and
outreach, identify what is and what is
not working, and determine how VA
can best support local community
efforts in support of Veterans, families,
caregivers, and survivors.
Survey respondents will be Veterans,
Active Military, Guard/Reservist, family
members, caregivers, and survivors that
attend a VEAC event. Different surveys
may be administered participants of
events:
1. VEAC Exit Survey: Outreach event
staff will verbally administer the survey
to event attendees as the last step in the
overall event process. The outreach staff
will fill out the web-based survey on
behalf of the outreach event participant.
2. VEAC Email Survey: A survey will
be sent via email to event attendees that
were not able to take the VEAC Exit
Survey. The email survey will not be
sent to event attendees that opted out of
the VEAC Exit Survey.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1,000
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 5 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
12,000.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
