Request for Information on Federal Coordination to Promote Economic Mobility for All Americans

The U.S. Interagency Council on Economic Mobility, a new federal interagency effort, includes the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), along with the Social Security Administration; the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Education, Labor, Housing and Urban Development, and Treasury; and the Council of Economic Advisors. The Council seeks to develop an effective structure for interagency collaboration and to use federal officials to promote careers and economic mobility for low-income Americans. The Council requests input from stakeholders (such as state and local government agencies, local program operators, and the people that they serve) through a request for information (RFI). The RFI includes questions such as: What priorities should the new Council have? What suggestions do you have on how to make federal workforce and work support programs work together more effectively? and What barriers do these programs encounter for them to work effectively? The deadline for comments is October 2, 2020.
