The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") issued a Request for Information
("RFI") on the agency's consumer financial education
programs. The current education programs for consumers and
financial educators cover topics including mortgages, credit
reporting, student loans, debt collection and bank accounts.
In particular, the CFPB is requesting input on how to:
- improve existing programs and delivery methods;
- better assess the impact of education efforts; and
- avoid the duplication of efforts by other agencies.
Comments will be accepted for 90 days following publication of
the RFI in the Federal Register, which is expected to occur on
April 9, 2018.
