For each VR agency, RSA examines the percentage of individuals achieving

62.4 percent. For purposes of this measure, beginning with the FY 2006,
RSA decided that the criteria were too low, and therefore has increased
the rates to 80 percent for general and combined agencies.

Accuracy/consistency of reporting is contingent upon counselors\'

**Explanation**. This long-term indicator is derived from state VR
agency performance on indicator 1.3 in Section 106 of the Rehabilitation
Act. For each VR agency, RSA examines the percentage of individuals who
achieve competitive employment of all individuals who achieve
employment. To pass the Section 106 indicator, a general/combined agency
must achieve a rate of 72.6 percent. For purposes of this measure,
beginning with the FY 2004 plan, RSA decided that the criteria were too
low, and therefore increased the rates to 85 percent for general and
combined VR agencies.
