  1. New Data Collection System For AFP NATTAP Meeting May 6, 2008 Salt Lake City, Utah

  2. Process for Development • Lead National Information System on Assistive Technology (NISAT) • ABLE Tech • Partners • RSA • RESNA Alternative Financing Technical Assistance Project (AFTAP) National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  3. Data Work Group • Comprised of programs • dual reporting requirements (AFP and Statewide AT Program) • those that solely have AFP reporting requirements • large programs and small programs (Federal Funds given through the years) • diversity with states, population, location, type of AFP offered etc. National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  4. Virginia – Joey (Christy) Pennsylvania – Susan Wisconsin – Patti Kansas – Basil Wyoming - Kris Missouri – Marty Louisiana – Kurt Maine – Kathy Illinois – Sue Michigan - Leah Players Held 6 Conference Calls National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  5. Mission • Data collection instrument that would capture at a minimum the reporting requirements of Title III of the Assistive Act of 1998 (4) the amount of assistance giving to consumers through the program (who shall be classified by age, type of disability, type of AT devices or AT service financed through the program, geographic distribution, within the State, gender and whether the consumers are part of an underrepresented or rural population). National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  6. Issues • Some reporting requirements are different than those in State Financing • Convert current AFP reporting from • Individual data on all applicants • Annual Program data • To one aggregate data system National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  7. Currently • Federal Register released data instrument for comment February 29th • Office of Management & Budget (OMB) closed comments April 29th • OMB will review comments and release final instrument approximately 90 to 120 days • There could be changes but here is what we know now……. National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  8. AFP Optional Data Elements • Type of AFP’s offered • Highest & Lowest Interest Rates • Highest & Lowest Loan Amounts • Highest & Lowest Repayment Terms (days) • Loan Guarantee Repayment Requirement National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  9. Required Data Elements • One question on applicants – all other questions are based on the loan or the direct user of closed loans National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  10. Definition of Type of Loan • Revolving Loans – the loan program directly provides the funds that are loaned • Partnership Loans – funds are from a source other than the AFP, usually a financial entity, through an agreement • Loan Guarantee • Interest Buy-Down • Other National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  11. Definitions – Type of Loans • Loan Guarantee – the loan program uses its funds to guarantee all or a portion of a loan • Interest Buy-Down – the loan program funds are used to buy down the interest rate of the loan resulting in lower interest payment charged to the consumer National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  12. Definitions – Type of Loans • Low-Interest Loan – the interest charged to the consumer is at or below prime rate. Prime rate is interest rate charged by commercial banks for large loans • Preferred Interest Loan – the interest rate that is lower than the consumer would normally pay National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  13. Type of Loan Number of Loans will automatically populate from Table 2a. Dollar value must equal Dollar Value of Loans in Table 3a. National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008 Table 2 b. pp 15

  14. Types & Dollar Amount of AT National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008 Table 3 a. pp 17

  15. Number and Percentage LoansLoan Amount National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008 Table 3 b. pp 18

  16. High & Low Loan Amount • Enter the highest and lowest dollar amounts of loans provided during this reporting period: Highest $________ Lowest $ ________ Table 3 b. pp 18 National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  17. Definitions - Defaults • Loan in Default – on or before, 120 days in which the borrower has not made the scheduled payment for the balance still owed to the loan program; or when the loan program paid the lending institution the remaining agreed upon balance of loan. Do not count loans that have had rescue payments. National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  18. Definitions - Defaults • Net Dollar Loss – the amount lost as a result of default during this reporting period after subtracting any funds that were recovered on a revolving or guarantee loan. • Active Loans – a borrower owes money and is still actively making payments and the loan program is responsible for all or part of the balance in case of default. • Revolving Loans • Guarantee Loans National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  19. Definitions - Defaults Count: • All Active Loans from when the loan program originated, in which the loan program is responsible for all or part of the balance if the loan was to default on the last day of the reporting period. Do Not Count: • Loans in which the loan program does not have a financial responsibility to pay the bank in case of default, such as: • Interest Buy-Down Loans • Low Interest or Preferred Interest Loans National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  20. Defaults National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008 Table 4 a. & b. pp 20

  21. Direct User • A direct user is an individual that uses an AT device or service that provides a direct benefit or impact. Whereas, secondary user or beneficiary is a person who benefits from the user having an AT device. • There can be more than one direct user for one AT device, but do not count secondary user National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  22. Gender of Direct User(s) There must be the same number of direct users when reporting Gender, Age and Geographic Distribution Table 5 a.. pp 21 National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  23. Age National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008 Table 5 b. pp 21

  24. Geographic Distribution Rural Urban Continuum Code http://rtc.ruralinstititue.umt.edu/geography/countydisability.asp Or to download excel file go to: http://www.ers.usda.gov/Data/RuralUrbanContinuumCodes/ Codes 1-3 are considered “metro” Codes 4-9 are considered “non-metro” National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  25. Number of ApplicationsGeographic Distribution National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008 Table 5 c. pp 23

  26. Type of Disability • The AT direct user’s abilities may be affected in more than one area, therefore the data reported for each user may reflect multiple areas or “Type of Abilities” • The total number of areas affected may exceed the number of loans and/or the totals reported for direct users of age, gender and geographic distribution National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  27. Type of Ability Table 5 d. pp 24 National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  28. Anecdote • Provide at least one anecdote • What AT device or service did the user need? • How did the your AFP help? • What barrier(s) did your AFP help the user overcome? • Did the AFP collaborate with another entity? • How did the device improve the user’s life? National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  29. Compared to State Financing • Difference • AFP has optional questions on program policy • Interest Rates • Loan Amounts • Repayment Terms • Loan Guarantee Requirement National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  30. Differences cont. • Geographic distribution is only on direct users of loans closed, not on all applicants • Type of device – “other” is clarified to use farm equipment • Type of loan – total Revolving and Partnership loans • AFP Default – assigns a different term from Default Rate to Net Loss Rate% • Data elements are the same National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  31. AFP Data Not Collected • Data not collected in AFP • Income information of applicant • Interest Rate – range table • Performance measures • Customer Satisfaction National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

  32. Questions? - Comments National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
