OMB initially approved data collection
instruments for the Building Evidence on Employment Strategies
(BEES) study in November 2019. BEES will ultimately include
separate studies of up to 21 programs (or “sites”) aimed at
improving employment outcomes and economic security for low-income
individuals and families. Since approval, BEES has begun formally
planning evaluations with some programs while continuing
recruitment of additional programs. As described in the
justification package for this study, approved instruments may be
tailored to specific sites as they are recruited. These individual
BEES sites – three programs offering supported employment services
in Washington State – will focus on delivering Individual Placement
and Support (IPS) employment services to Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF) recipients and Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents
(ABAWDs). • Compass Career Solutions, Spokane County, WA • CORE
