Veteran outcomes. This information
collection request (ICR) is conducted
once per year and is designed as two
separate collections which include a
Cross-Sectional Survey and a
Longitudinal Survey. The survey
population for the Cross-Sectional
Survey includes all Veterans who meet
the criteria at the time of fielding of
having separated from the military at six
months, one year, and three years prior
to the date that surveys. Service
members who participated in the CrossSectional Survey and voluntarily agreed
to participate in the Longitudinal
Survey make up the Longitudinal
Survey population. VA will use email
and mail methods to administer the
survey, reducing the burden on
respondents. The surveys are necessary
to gauge the long-term effectiveness of
the Transition Assistance Program
(TAP) by: (1) examining the relationship
between attendance in TAP courses and
the use of VA Benefits; (2) analyzing the
effect of participation in TAP courses on
the long-term outcomes of Veterans in
the broad life domains of employment,
education, health and social
relationships, financial, social
connectivity and overall satisfaction and
well-being, and; (3) identifying areas of
improvement for TAP and the broader
transition process to guide training and/
or operational activities aimed at
enhancing the quality of service
provided to transitioning service
members, Veterans, their families and
caregivers.
The National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019
mandated several changes to TAP. In
addition, Section 4305 of the Veterans
Health Care and Benefits Improvement
Act of 2020 (hereafter referred to as
Public Law 116–315) calls for a one-year
independent assessment of TAP.
Section 4306 of Public Law 116–315
calls for a five-year longitudinal study
on three cohorts of Veterans to assess
changes to TAP under the NDAA and
changes based on the independent
assessment under Section 4305 and
provide annual progress reports and a
final report. The Section 4306 Study
will analyze the outcomes between

Veterans who attended TAP before and
after changes to the program. Both the
PSTAP Assessment and Section 4306
Study are included in this current ICR
because some Veterans in the PSTAP
Study were also selected for the Section
4306 Study cohorts. A single survey
instrument collects the information
needed for both studies so that Veterans
are not contacted twice. This reduces
burden while ensuring both studies
collect the data required to meet
Congressional and Government
requirements.
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 90 FR

Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Annual Burden: 9,582.
