The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), part of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), is proposing updates to the data collection activities for the Next Generation of Enhanced Employment Strategies (NextGen) Project. This project aims to evaluate innovative interventions that help low-income individuals with employment challenges improve their economic security. Changes include updates to consent forms and data collection tools to better measure social support, social trust, and employment outcomes, especially related to COVID-19. The public is invited to comment on these proposed revisions within 30 days of the notice's publication.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to collect more information to see how to help people with money and jobs, especially after COVID-19. They are checking with people first to make sure it's okay, and they want to hear what everyone thinks about this idea.
