OMB Control Number: 2900-NEW.

Type of Review: New Information Collection.

Abstract: The Comparison Tool Survey submitted for OMB's approval through regular ICR 3-year collection for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery" is being submitted to Veterans and eligible beneficiaries who recently graduated from college. The sampled customers will be contacted through an invitation email. A link will be enclosed so the survey may be completed using an online interface, with customized customer information. The survey itself consists of a handful of questions revolving around a human-centered design, focusing on such elements as trust, emotion, effective, and ease with the services and educational care they received. The information provided will be used by VA to measure how recent graduates who used the GI Bill feel about the institution they attended, and the education they received. This includes quality of classes, in person versus online learning, GI Bill support (or supportiveness of school certifying officials), degree of support for the Veteran community at the institution, and overall experience. This ICR survey collection will be sent via, email. Without this type of feedback from the Survey, VA will not have timely information to adjust its services to meet customer needs.

The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published at 87 FR 113 on June 13, 2022, page 35851.
