The Office on Violence Against Women within the Department of Justice has announced plans to submit an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget. This is in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and involves the Abuse in Later Life Program. This initiative supports efforts to address elder abuse through enhanced training for professionals and improved community responses. Public comments on the data collection process are being accepted until January 31, 2025, with a particular focus on the necessity, accuracy, and efficiency of the information collection.
