**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Data Quality**. Data are verified by a department attestation process
and the Department\'s Standards for Evaluating Program Performance Data.
Accuracy and consistency of reporting is contingent upon counselors\'
interpretations of definitions.

**Explanation**. This measure examines state agency performance
regarding supported employment for individuals with the most significant
disabilities. Individuals in supported employment can achieve
competitive employment (with wages at or above the minimum wage),
although not all individuals in supported employment do achieve these
competitive wages.
