This information collection request is approved as amended by DOL through its supplemental memos and materials included in this record. In addition, DOL agrees to amend this package through a nonsubstantive change request to account for the reduction in incentive amounts from $50/$40 to $40/$30 for respondents who make first contact versus those who wait to be called. DOL will also provide revised materials that remove the questions and associated burden for the lobbyist/legislator questions, which are not being fielded.

This information collection is in support of an evaluation of the unemployment compensation (UC) provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The evaluation is designed to provide insights into five topics: (1) states' decisions to adopt certain UC-related reforms encouraged by ARRA, (2) states' implementation experiences with these ARRA UC provisions, (3) the characteristics of recipients of different types of unemployment benefits during the time ARRA-related UC benefits were available, (4) the impact of ARRA UC provisions on recipients' outcomes, and (5) additional research questions about the influence of the UC provisions of ARRA on macroeconomic issues and state unemployment insurance (UI) trust funds. This package requests clearance for three data collection efforts conducted as part of the evaluation: 1. A Survey of UI Recipients. This survey will yield data from a nationally representative sample of 2,400 UI recipients in 20 randomly selected UI jurisdictions from among the 50 states and the District of Columbia; topics to be covered include the recipients' employment and financial characteristics prior to their period of unemployment and their experiences during and after receipt of benefits. 2. A Survey of UI Administrators. This survey will yield data about the decision-making and implementation experiences of UI administrators in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. 3. Site Visit Data Collection. In-person visits to 20 purposively selected states and a data systems survey to be provided to state-level staff prior to those in-person visits will provide qualitative and in-depth information about the states' experiences deciding whether to adopt the UC-related provisions of ARRA as well as their experiences with implementation of these and other provisions.
