Metrics to Measure Financial Well-being 

of Working-age and Older American 

Consumers. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–XXXX.

(Request for a new OMB control

Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Wall 

Street Reform and Consumer Protection 

Act, Public Law 111–203, the Bureau’s 

Office of Financial Education is 

responsible for developing and 

implementing a strategy to improve the 

financial literacy of consumers that 

includes measurable goals and 

initiatives, in consultation with the 

Financial Literacy and Education 

Commission, consistent with the 

National Strategy for Financial Literacy. 

In addition, the Office of Financial 

Protection for Older Americans within 

the Bureau is charged with conducting 

research to identify methods and 

strategies to educate and counsel 

seniors, and developing goals for 

programs that provide seniors with 

financial literacy and counseling. 

The CFPB intends to collect 

quantitative data through surveys with 

working-age (age 18–61) and older 

American (age 62 and older) consumers 

in order to develop and refine survey 

instruments that will enable the CFPB to 

reliably and accurately measure adult 

consumers’ financial well-being. The 

primary anticipated data collection 

strategy is through Internet-based 

surveys. The core objective of the data 

collection is to iteratively test, refine, 

and produce valid and reliable measures 

of consumer financial well-being that 

will create a strong, standardized basis 

for setting measurable goals, and 

evaluating financial education strategies 

and programs.

performance of the functions of the 

Bureau, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methods and the assumptions used; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) Ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be 

summarized and/or included in the 

request for Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approval. All comments 

will become a matter of public record.
