serve the underserved populations that
the Department assists.
The Participant Assistance Program
Customer Survey collects customer
satisfaction data for a sample of private
citizens who call into the participant
assistance program to ask about their
private sector employer provided
benefits such as pensions, retirement
savings, and health benefits. Three types
of callers are queried: (1) Those who
need benefit claim assistance; (2) those
who have a valid benefit claim; and (3)
those who have an invalid benefit claim.
The results of the survey are analyzed
to provide actionable data that could be
used to improve program performance.
Examples of improved performance that
may result from that study include, but
are not limited to:
• Being more attuned to inquirers’
needs—Benefits Advisors should be
more adept at identifying issues that
lead to benefits recoveries and
enforcement leads
• Survey data will enable National and
Regional management to identify
potential training needs
• Satisfaction scores will guide EBSA
leadership to determine which
Regions need assistance improving
customer service
• Scores on individual BAs will reveal
high performers and allow the agency
to use those BAs’ techniques as best
practices for program-wide
improvement.
The study will include survey data
from regional offices in Atlanta, Boston,
Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Kansas City,
Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia
and San Francisco and District offices in
Miami, Seattle and Washington.
