To assist Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) in obtaining these entitlements, the Peace Corps Office of Health Services (OHS) has created a Post-Service Unit, whose job is to facilitate RPCVsâ application to the FECA program for benefits. Since FECA is operated by a separate federal agency, the Post-Service Unit is critical in ensuring that RPCVs receive appropriate guidance and support in their benefits application.
OHS is interested in the satisfaction levels of RPCVs with the services received through the Post-Service Unit. In addition, OHS is interested in the various experiences that RPCVs have with the FECA program so that we can better explain and assist RPCVs through the FECA application process.
The Post-Service Survey will be entered electronically into the online Survey Monkey website. We estimate that the average respondent will take approximately 5 minutes to complete the survey (based on a pilot of 10 respondents within the Office of Health Services).
There are 60,000 email addresses in the Peace Corps Returned Volunteer email database of Volunteers who have served within the past 20 years (i.e. since 1996). We expect a 15% response rate (12,000 responses).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
