## [General Instructions]{.underline}

This section provides detailed edit and relational edit specifications
for reporting RSA-911 data in a 213-character record image layout.

Reported records pertain to all individuals whose case records were
closed in a given fiscal year. The due date for RSA-911 submittals is
November 30 following the Federal fiscal year of reference (October 1 to
September 30).

All records submitted **[MUST BE UNIQUE]{.underline}**. The Agency Code,
Social Security Number, and Closure Order Code determine the
\"uniqueness\" of a given record.

Duplicate records will be rejected. For example, records with codes in
positions 1 through 13 that are identical to the codes in another record
will be considered duplicates and will be rejected. In order to indicate
that a second closure for an individual has taken place in the same
Federal fiscal year, use Code 2 in position 13 (Closure Order Code). Use
Code 3 for a third closure and Code 4 for a fourth closure.

Records **[MUST]{.underline}** include Type of Closure within the valid
range of 1 through 7; otherwise, records will be rejected in their
entirety. Counts of each code 1 through 7 must equal counts derived from
the 4th Quarter of the Quarterly Cumulative Caseload Report (Form
RSA-113). Agencies may be required to resubmit data if there are
discrepancies in closure counts between these two systems.

All dates in the RSA-911 System must be in the format of YYYYMMDD, where
YYYY is Year, MM is Month and DD is Day.

Unless otherwise noted, all fields will be numeric or \*'s with no
embedded blanks or other special characters.

Actual values must be right justified and zero-filled when reporting
amounts for data elements such as Weekly Earnings at Application and
Closure, Cost of Case Services, and Monthly Amount of Public Support at
Application and Closure. Code values, too, should be right justified and
zero-filled. For example, if the Employment Status at Application, is
extended employment (Code 02) record 02 and not (blank)2.

####### Instructions for Preparation of Floppy Diskette, CD-ROM

####### or Electronic Transmittal

1.  The floppy diskette or CD-ROM should be in a flat file in the ASCII
    code set.

2.  Data may be recorded on 3.5-inch diskettes or CDs.

3.  Each record must be [213 characters]{.underline} in length.

4.  The diskette or CD-ROM should have an external label identifying the
    contents as \"RSA-911 Data for FY .\" The name of the submitting
    agency should also be included.

5.  Use the following convention to name the file containing your R911
    data "BAgXFYNN" where:

-   BA is the official postal abbreviation for your state/territory

-   g is the type of agency -- g=general, c=combined and b=blind

-   X is the number of the submission -- 1=first, 2=second, etc., and,

-   NN is the last two digits of the reported fiscal year.

6.  If you would like to transmit your data electronically, please
    contact Patricia A. Nash on 202-205-9412 or Mary Naifeh on 202
    205-9346 for specific instructions. Electronic transmissions should
    be compressed and password protected.

**[Paperwork Burden Statement:]{.underline} According to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a
collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB
control number. The valid OMB control number for this information
collection is 1820-0508 (Expiration Date: 02/28/2003). The time required
to complete this information collection is estimated to average 45 hours
per response, including the time to review instructions, search existing
data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the
information collection. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy
of the time estimate or suggestions for improving this form, please

and so on.

If an individual\'s service record is closed more than once in the FY,
the RSA-911 data system must contain a separate record for each closure.
Ensure that when a record indicates a closure order code 2, there is
another record with a closure order code 1 with an identical SSN for
that individual, and so on for all multiple closures in the same FY.

individuals at application and includes all wages, salaries, tips, and
commissions received as income [before]{.underline} payroll deductions
of Federal, State and local income taxes and Social Security payroll
tax. Earnings also include profits derived from self-employed
individuals. Earnings for salespersons, consultants, self-employed
individuals, and other similar occupations are based on the [adjusted
gross income.]{.underline} Adjusted gross income is gross income minus
unreimbursed business expenses. [Do not]{.underline} include estimates
of payments in-kind, such as meals and lodging. Estimate profits of
farmers, if necessary.

**[SPECIAL CASES:]{.underline}** To preclude misleading results such as
a negative earnings situation, the following instructions are provided:

> Where earnings are based on commissions that are irregular (e.g., real
> estate, automobile sales, etc.), to obtain a meaningful figure for a
> typical week's earnings, it should be calculated as an average over a
> representative period of time such as one month.
>
> When, because of the occupation/situation, there are significant
> amounts of unreimbursed business expenses that are irregular (e.g.,
> car lease payments due the first week of every month), the expenses
> should be averaged over a representative period of time to obtain a
> meaningful figure for a typical week's expenses.
>
> Commissions are generally not paid when earned, but rather are paid
> periodically, such as weekly, biweekly, or even monthly. To bring
> standardization to this item, earnings should be based on the actual
> receipt of the payment and not on amounts accruing until the next
> commission payout.

## 29. [Competitive Employment]{.underline} 

Record Position: 162

Enter a one-digit code to indicate whether the individual achieved
competitive employment at the time the service record was closed.
Competitive employment is employment in the competitive labor market
that is performed on a full-time or part-time basis in an integrated
setting and for which an individual is compensated at or above the
minimum wage, but not less than the customary wage and level of benefits
paid by the employer for the same or similar work performed by
individuals who are not disabled. Minimum wage is the Federal or State
minimum wage, whichever is higher.

Coding this item requires accurately applying several criteria to each
individual. Specifically, item #36, type of closure, has a code of 3;
item #28, employment status at closure, has a code of 1, 3, 4 or 7; the
hourly wage (weekly earnings, item #30/hours worked, item #31) is at
least equal to the higher of the federal or state minimum wage and at
not less than the customary wage and level of benefits paid to
individuals who are not disabled doing the same or similar work.
Therefore, Code 1 in this item will be a subset of the total number of
individuals coded 1, 3, 4 or 7 in Item #28. Use Code 0 in this item for
individuals in Item #28, Codes 1, 3, 4 or 7, who did not meet the
definition of competitive employment. Also use Code 0 for individuals
whose service records were closed as homemakers, or unpaid family
workers (Codes 5 or 6 in Item #28). Use Code \* for closure types other
than 3.

0 Not competitively employed

#### Competitively employed

Instructions for the accurate computation of hourly earnings for
reporting competitive employment

The RSA 911 requires submission of weekly earnings and weekly hours
worked in integers: file specifications do not permit the entry of
either cents or partial hours. Hourly wages are computed by dividing the
weekly earnings by the weekly hours worked. For hourly earnings that are
at or near the applicable minimum wage, an individual making the minimum
hourly wage may appear to be making less than the minimum wage. For
example, a person making \$5.15 per hour and working 1 hour each week,
would have a weekly earnings of \$5 if one used mathematical rounding
rules to report weekly earnings.

To accurately report those individuals who make the minimum hourly wage
and, at the same time, not introduce error by incorrectly identifying
those who are not competitively employed use the following:

Continue to report weekly earnings and hours worked in integers. Round
both of these variables using mathematical rules [except]{.underline}
for those cases where the individual makes the minimum wage or more but
whose combination of weekly earnings and hours worked would result in a
computation of hourly wages that would be less than the minimum wage.
For those cases, round the weekly earnings up and report this higher
amount. Round up these cases and only these cases.

In mathematical rounding rules, values of .5 or more are rounded up and
values less than .5 are rounded down. Thus \$5.50 becomes \$6 and \$6.45
also becomes \$6. An example of an exception to the application of
mathematical rounding rules occurs in a situation in which a person
works for 35 hours per week at \$5.15 per hour. (Assumption: federal
minimum wage is the applicable minimum wage.) The computed weekly wage
of \$180.25 would be rounded down to \$180 if mathematical rounding
rules were applied. However, if weekly earnings were reported as \$180
then the computed hourly wage would be \$5.143 which is less than the
federal minimum wage of \$5.15. Consequently, this person would appear
to be not competitively employed when in fact he/she was. In order to
accurately reflect this individual's competitive employment status at
the applicable minimum wage, weekly earnings would be rounded up to
\$181 and reported as such on the RSA911. The computed hourly wage would
then be \$5.17.

## 30. [Weekly Earnings at Closure]{.underline} 

Record Positions: 163-166

Enter the amount of money (to the nearest dollar) the individual earned
in a typical week after achieving an employment outcome. Earnings for
this purpose include all income from wages, salaries, tips, and
commissions [before]{.underline} payroll deductions of Federal, State
and local income taxes and Social Security payroll tax. Earnings also
include profits derived from self-employed individuals. Earnings for
salespersons, consultants, self-employed individuals, and other similar
occupations are based on the [adjusted gross income.]{.underline}
Adjusted gross income is gross income minus unreimbursed business
expenses. [Do not]{.underline} include estimates of payments in-kind,
such as meals and lodging. Estimate profits of farmers, if necessary.

[**SPECIAL CASES**:]{.underline} To preclude misleading results such as
a negative earnings situation, the following instructions are provided:

> Where earnings are based on commissions that are irregular (e.g., real
> estate, automobile sales, etc.), to obtain a meaningful figure for a
> typical week's earnings, it should be calculated as an average over a
> representative period of time such as one month.
>
> When, because of the occupation/situation, there are significant
> amounts of unreimbursed business expenses that are irregular (e.g.,
> car lease payments due the first week of every month), the expenses
> should be averaged over a representative period of time to obtain a
> meaningful figure for a typical week's expenses.
>
> Commissions are generally not paid when earned, but rather are paid
> periodically, such as weekly, biweekly, or even monthly. To bring
> standardization to this item, earnings should be based on the actual
> receipt of the payment and not on amounts accruing until the next
> commission payout.

If the individual had no earnings, enter 0000. If the individual's
earnings were \$9999 or more, enter 9999. Fill in leading zeros when
they apply (e.g., 0128 for individuals earning \$128 in a typical week
after achieving an employment outcome). Use Code \*\*\*\* for closure
types other than 3.

## 31. [Hours Worked in a Week at Closure]{.underline}

#####  Record Positions: 167-168

For an individual who achieved an employment outcome, enter the number
of hours the individual worked for earnings in a typical week when the
service record was closed. Earnings may have been in the form of wages,
salaries, tips, commissions, profits from self-employment, adjusted
gross income for salespersons, etc. If the individual generated no
earnings, enter 00. If the person worked 99 or more hours in one week,
enter 99. Fill in leading zero when it applies. Use Code \*\* for
closure types other than 3.

## 32. [Type of Public Support at Closure]{.underline}

Enter a Code 0 or a Code 1 in each of the following seven record
positions to indicate whether the individual was receiving that type of
public support at closure. Use Code 0 to indicate no public support and
Code 1 to indicate receipt of support payment from the source cited. One
payment is sufficient to establish \"receipt\". Use Code \* in the
position if the information is not available for Closure Code 1 or the
information is not available for all other closure codes due to
circumstances beyond the agency's control.

Public support refers to cash payments made by Federal, State and/or
local governments for any reason, including an individual\'s disability,
age, economic, retirement and survivor status. Include payments to a
[family]{.underline} unit precipitated by the individual\'s disability
or when the individual\'s presence is taken into account in the
computation of the family benefit. Also include any payments that are
sent directly to the individual in an institution or to dependents on
his/her behalf. Exclude any non-cash support payments such as Medicaid,
Medicare, food stamps and rental subsidies. Categories of public support
are as follows:

[Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the Aged, Blind or
Disabled]{.underline}

Record Position: 169

discrepancies in closure counts between these two systems.

## 37. [Reason for Closure]{.underline}

Record Positions: 199-200

Enter a two-digit code that identifies the reason for closing the
service record of an individual. The code 00 applies only to cases with
a code of 3 in item #36, type of closure. Codes of 01 or higher apply to
all other types of closure, viz. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Fill in leading
zero when it applies.

00 Achieved employment outcome (applicable only to closure type 3).

01 Unable to locate or contact

Use this code when the individual has moved without a forwarding address
or is otherwise unavailable. Also use this code for persons who have
left the State and show no intentions of continuing in their VR program.

02 Disability too significant to benefit from VR services

Use this code to identify an individual whose mental or physical
disability is so significant that the individual cannot benefit from VR
services in terms of employment.

unavailable to participate in a VR program for an indefinite or
considerable period of time. An institution includes a hospital, a
nursing home, a prison or jail, a treatment center, etc.

06 Transferred to another agency

Use this code when an individual needs services that are more
appropriately obtained elsewhere. Transfer to the other agency indicates
that appropriate referral information is forwarded to the other agency
so that agency may provide services more effectively. Include
individuals transferred to other State VR agencies.

07 Failure to cooperate

Use this code to indicate when an individual\'s actions (or non-actions)
make it impossible to begin or continue a VR program. Failure to
cooperate includes repeated failures to keep appointments for
assessment, counseling, or other services.

08 No disabling condition

because no physical or mental impairment exists, such as when the
reported disability is an acute condition with no residual impairment,
e.g., a broken bone that heals.

09 No impediment to employment

Use this code for applicants who are not eligible for VR services
because their physical or mental impairment does not constitute a
substantial impediment to employment.

10 Transportation not feasible or available

Use this code to indicate that the individual was unable to accept or
maintain employment because suitable transportation was either not
feasible or not available.

####  11 Does not require VR services

Use this code for applicants who do not require VR services to prepare
for, enter into, engage in, or retain gainful employment consistent with
their strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities,
capabilities, and informed choice.

12 Extended services not available

Use this code for individuals who would have benefited from the
provision of supported employment services but for whom no source of
extended services was available.

13. All other reasons

> This code is used for all reasons not covered by Codes 01 to 12.

14. Extended employment

specified an employment outcome/vocational goal in a supported
employment setting and (b) if so, whether any supported employment
services were charged to funds provided under Title VI-B of the Act. Use
code 1 or 2, as applicable, if, at any time during the VR process,
supported employment was established as a goal for the individual in
his/her IPE. Use one of the following codes:

0 Not supported employment

1 Supported employment with some Title VI-B funds expended

2 Supported employment but no Title VI-B funds expended

\* Information is not available for Closure Codes 1, 2, 6 and 7

**[NOTE]{.underline}**: The term \"supported employment\" means
competitive work in integrated work settings, or employment in
integrated work settings, in which individuals are working toward
competitive employment, for individuals with the most significant
disabilities who require intensive supported employment services in
order to perform such work.
