Abstract:
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), is a community service and work-based training program for older workers. The program provides subsidized, work-experience training for low-income persons 55 or older who are unemployed and have poor employment prospects. SCSEP national grants are awarded through a competitive process; state and territorial grants are awarded through a formula outlined in the OAA-2016 Section 506 (b-c). The dual goals of the program are to promote useful community service employment activities and to move SCSEP participants into unsubsidized employment, so that they can achieve economic self-sufficiency. The Department is required to collect the information in order to comply with the OAA statutory and regulatory requirements. The information is also necessary for grantee performance accountability and program management.

Short Statement:
SCSEP grantees are required by the OAA to pay the minimum wage within the state or locality where their authorized positions are awarded. The applicable minimum wage determines how many participants the grantees can enroll. Increasing minimum wages at the state and local level have resulted in fewer modified positions each year, which, in turn, means fewer host agencies and employers each year. As a result, the number of potential respondents for each of the surveys has declined. The revision of the employer survey will increase the number of respondents by adding host agency employers and non-host agency employers that did not receive a substantial service, neither group having been surveyed previously. Non-host agency employers that did receive a substantial service have always been surveyed. Their numbers have decreased for the reasons described above. The timeline in this proposal has been adjusted to conform with the approval process in real time; grammatical changes were made to adjust to language to present tense and data has changed based on status of program to date.
