Abstract:
This is a generic clearance to conduct customer satisfaction surveys. The need for these surveys arises from Congressional directive that accompanied legislation enacted in 1996, as part of the Debt Collection Improvement Act (Pub. L. No. 104-134), expanding the scope of check recipients required to use direct deposit to receive Federal benefit payments (see 31 U.S.C. 3332). Congress directed Treasury to study the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of those who currently do not have Direct Deposit and determine how best to increase usage among all groups.

Short Statement:
We are increasing the number of respondents to 6,500 and total number of burden hours to 2,500. By surveying additional recipients, FMS hopes to obtain more reliable results for use in better targeting key markets and honing its messages to Federal benefit check recipients. The original estimate of respondents and burden hours was based on a single survey and we anticipate conducting several one-time surveys over the next three years.
