The Administration for Community Living (ACL), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, has submitted a proposal for a new information collection to the Office of Management and Budget. This proposal involves a survey called the APS Practice Survey, aimed at understanding the practices of Adult Protective Services (APS) programs across the U.S. and its territories. The survey seeks to identify innovative practices and challenges within APS programs, providing baseline data to aid research and enhance service delivery. Public comments on this collection are welcomed until March 29, 2021.

The government wants to ask questions to places that help protect adults in difficult situations, like when they're being treated badly. They want to find out what these places are doing well and what they can improve on, but they need people to tell them if this is a good idea or not.
