The DOL VETS administers funds for the multi-year Jobs for Veterans' State Grants to each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam on an annual basis on a fiscal year cycle. These forms are used to facilitate the identification of required programmatic and financial data provided by States requesting and expending funds and for monitoring the grants, making quarterly adjustments and reporting results to Congress. The use of program-specific standard formats helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in a uniform way, reporting burdens are minimized, the impact of collection requirements on respondents are properly assessed, collection instruments are clearly understood by respondents, and the information is easily consolidated for posting in accordance with statutory requirements.

The total burden hours for this ICR increased from 6,062 to 6,102. This increase is primarily due to increasing the agency estimated response time on three of the collections which in turn slightly increased estimated burden hours.
VETS also has added a VETS-404 IAR form to replace a formerly stand-alone requirement that was included in the VETS-402 TPN.
