**Instructions**

**Annual Vocational Rehabilitation**

**Program/Cost Report (RSA-2)**

Each State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Agency that has expended funds
in providing VR services to individuals with disabilities under the
Section 110 and Title VI-B programs of the Rehabilitation Act (hereafter
referred to as the Act) of 1973, as amended, must submit an Annual
Vocational Rehabilitation Program/Cost Report (RSA‑2) for each Federal
fiscal year (October 1 - September 30).

The RSA-2 report must be submitted to RSA by [December 31]{.underline}
following the close of the Federal fiscal year (FY). See page 20 for
submission information.

The RSA‑2 report must reflect all expen­ditures made during the Federal
fiscal year from Federal, State and other rehabilitation funds. It must
include those expenditures made during the reporting period and charged
to Section 110 Federal funds, Title VI-B Federal funds or program income
funds that were carried over from the previous fiscal year in accordance
with Section 19 of the Act. For the purpose of this report,
**[expenditures include unliquidated obligations]{.underline}**. The
RSA‑2 report consists of five schedules:

> **[Schedule]{.underline}** **[Title]{.underline}**
>
> Schedule I Total Expenditures
>
> Schedule II Number of Individuals Served and Expenditures by Service
> Category

###### Schedule III Person Years

> Schedule IV Expenditures from Title VI-B Funds and Other
> Rehabilitation Funds.

###### Schedule V Carryover Funds

**Definitions**

Unless otherwise defined in this document, the terms used in these
instructions are defined in the Act or program regulations at 34 CFR
Part 361 or 363, or in the grant administrative regulations at 34 CFR
Part 80. All of the requirements in 34 CFR Part 80 apply to the Section
110 Program, except for the provision concerning third-party in-kind
contributions for matching purposes. Third-party in-kind contributions
are not allowable for matching purposes under the Section 110 Program.
34 CFR Part 80 also applies to the Title VI-B Program.

For the purpose of these instructions, the following definitions also
apply:

> **[Section 110 Funds]{.underline} -**

Except where indicated otherwise in these instructions, the term
"Section 110 funds" means the Section 110 Federal funds, the State
matching funds including certified public funds under cooperative
arrangements, the State funds used to meet the Maintenance of Effort
(MOE) requirement, and the eligible State funds in excess of those
required for matching the Federal funds or meeting the MOE requirement.

> **[Title VI-B Funds -]{.underline}**

These are the Federal funds awarded under the Title VI-B Supported
Employment Program.

> **[Other Rehabilitation Funds -]{.underline}**
>
> These are funds \-- other than Section 110 and Title VI-B funds \--
> that are under the control of the State VR agency and that are not
> eligible to match the Section 110 Federal funds. Included in this
> category are funds from program income.

Program income means gross income received by the State VR agency that
is directly generated by an activity supported under the Section 110 or
Title VI-B program. Examples of sources of program income include:
reimbursement payments from the Social Security Administration for
rehabilitating Social Security disability beneficiaries; payments
received from insurance carriers; payments received from workers'
compensation funds; fees for services to defray part or all of the costs
of services provided to individuals with disabilities; and income
generated by State VR agency operated community rehabilitation programs.

> This category also includes other sources of funds such as
> Welfare-to-Work, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, etc., but
> does [not]{.underline} include any funds under the control of others
> (e.g. comparable benefits).

####### ***PLEASE NOTE: ALL AMOUNTS SHOULD BE REPORTED IN WHOLE DOLLARS ONLY***

**[Schedule I - Total Expenditures]{.underline}**

The purpose of Schedule I is to provide the means for State VR agencies

Administrative Staff, are to be included here as well as all other State
VR agency expenses incident to carrying out its administrative
functions. These other expenses would include staff travel, rent,

expenditures made by the State VR agency for the provision of VR
services to individuals with disabilities.

**2A -- Services Provided by State VR Agency Personnel**

Reported in this category are expenditures made by the State VR agency
for services provided directly by its personnel. The expenditures are to
be broken down based on where the personnel are employed. If the agency
operates its own community rehabilitation programs, all of the line
items in this category are to be completed; otherwise, only line items
2.A.2.(a) and (b) need to be completed.

**Lines 2.A.1.a and 2.A.2.a -- Assessment, Counseling, Guidance and
Placement**

Enter the total amount expended for Assessment, Counseling, Guidance and
Placement services provided directly by State VR agency personnel.

Included in this category are expenditures for trial work experiences,
the development of individualized plans for employment, any services
formerly categorized as extended evaluation services, and the collection

etc. This category also includes expenditures made in providing periodic
reviews and reevaluations of individuals with disabilities who were
determined to be ineligible for vocational rehabilitation services or
have been placed in extended employment in community rehabilitation
programs to determine the feasibility of their employment or their
training for future employment in the competitive labor market.

The total expenditures reported in this category include salaries and
fringe benefits of all personnel providing assessment, counseling,
guidance or placement services or supervising their provision or
providing consultation in their provision, as well as other State VR
agency expenses incident to the provision of these services. Other
expenses could include all of district or field offices' costs if they
deal with no other function other than to provide assessment,
counseling, guidance and placement services. These expenses could
include rent, utilities, supplies and other costs, which might be
considered administrative. The determining factor is the function they
support \-- administrative or assessment, counseling, guidance and
placement services.

Personnel included in this category are counselors, interviewers, case
aides, etc. Also included are clerical personnel whose duties support
these activities as well as supervisory personnel and consultants whose
responsibilities cover these activities. When personnel employed in
these activities devote part of their time to administrative functions,

expenses attributable to those functions should be included on line 1,
Administration.

**Lines 2.A.1.b and 2.A.2.b -- Other Services**

Enter the total amount expended for services provided directly by State
VR agency personnel other than Assessment, Counseling, Guidance and
Placement services. The amount reported for this category includes the
salaries, fringe benefits of all staff who provide these services as
well as other agency expenses incident to the provision of these
services such as rent, utilities, supplies, etc. Also included are the
salaries and fringe benefits of clerical and supervisory personnel
including the costs of consultants whose duties support the provision of
these other services.

Examples of services that would be classified under this category
include orientation and mobility training, rehabilitation teaching, and

management and supervision and other services under the Business
Enterprise Program; those expenditures should be reported on line 3c.

**Line 2.B.1 -- Services Purchased from Public Community Rehabilitation
Programs**

programs are those programs operated by a State, county, municipal, or
other local government. For State VR agency operated community
rehabilitation programs, all expenditures made for the provision of VR
services including salaries, wages and other expenses are
[not]{.underline} to be reported here but on lines 2.A.1.a and 2.A.1.b.

**Line 2.B.2 -- Services Purchased from Private Community Rehabilitation
Programs**

Enter the total amount expended for services purchased from private
community rehabilitation programs.

Category]{.underline}**

The purpose of this schedule is to provide information on the number of

> may be included in more than one category. However, if during the
> fiscal year covered by this report an individual had his or her record
