Title: Survey of Individuals Using
Their Entitlement to Educational
Assistance Under the Educational
Assistance Programs Administered by
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
OMB Control Number: 2900–NEW.
Type of Review: New data collection.
Abstract: The Educational Assistance
Program Feedback Survey is designed to
measure experience of beneficiaries of
educational assistance programs
administered by the Veterans Affairs
(VA), including under chapters 30, 32,
33, and 35 of title 38 United States
Code. The information will help the VA
improve programs and better serve
Veterans interested in educational
assistance. Educational Assistance
Program feedback data will be collected
using an online transactional survey or
paper disseminated via an invitation
email or mailed letter sent to selected
beneficiaries. The survey questionnaire
includes 52 questions, though in
actuality due to branching depending on
responses to each question respondents
will complete anywhere from 8–49
questions (8 if respondents passed their
benefit to dependents; 39–49 questions
for all other respondents). The survey
contains general rating-scale questions
(e.g., a scale of 1–5 from Very
dissatisfied to Very satisfied; or Not at
all effective to Extremely effective) to
assess satisfaction with educational
assistance programs, resources, training
as well as questions assessing
education/training outcomes
(completion of program, current income
level) and has been approved by the
Education Service leadership. These
questions have been mapped to the
Public Law 114–315 (December 15,
2016) section 414. After the survey has
been distributed, recipients will have
two weeks to complete the survey.
Invitees will receive a reminder email or
mailed letter after one week. The sample
will be distributed across four
Education Benefit Programs: Post-9/11
GI Bill (Chapter 33), Montgomery GI
Bill—Active Duty (Chapter 30), Veterans
Education Assistance Program (VEAP;
Chapter 32), and Survivors’ and
Dependents’ Educational Assistance
(DEA; Chapter 35). The overall sample
size is determined so that the reliability
of survey estimate is 3% Margin of Error
at a 95% Confidence Level. Once data
collection is completed, the participant
responses in the survey will be
weighted so that the samples more
closely represent the overall population.
Weighting models will rely on
beneficiary age and gender.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
