**Title VII-Chapter 2**

**Annual Report for FY 2002**

**Background**

Section 752 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (PL 105-220),
authorizes formula grants to state vocational rehabilitation agencies
for programs to provide independent living services for significantly
visually impaired individuals who are 55 years of age or older. These
programs are referred to in Title VII-Chapter 2 (VII‑2) of the
Rehabilitation Act as *Independent Living Services For Older Individuals
Who Are Blind*.

Among many older adults, vocational goals may be inappropriate and
significant visual impairments often interfere with normal activities of
daily living. Services provided by the VII‑2 Programs are targeted to
those age 55 or older whose significant visual impairment makes gainful
employment extremely difficult to obtain, but for whom independent
living goals are feasible. The targeted outcome of these independent
living services is to enhance a consumer\'s ability to maintain their
desired level of personal independence. The outcome for society at large
may be the avoidance or delay of costly long‑term care options.

The VII‑2 Program is administered by the Independent Living Branch of
the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) under the Office of
Special Education and Rehabilitative Services of the U.S. Department of
Education. This report is compiled as a part of RSA=s management
information system and is designed to support program evaluation efforts
made pursuant to Section 12 (Evaluation) of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, as amended, and the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993
(GPRA).

RSA guidelines emphasize several specific core services that are
ordinarily considered essential in the rehabilitation process for
individuals who are blind. As a result, the core services most commonly
provided by VII‑2 Programs are related to (a) purchase of adaptive aids,
devices, or equipment (e.g., low vision aids and appliances,
communication aids); (b) training (e.g., orientation and mobility (O&M)
skills; communication skills; daily living skills; adaptive aids,
devices, and equipment; advocacy; management of secondary disabilities);
(c) other individual services (e.g., low

vision screening/services, counseling, transportation, readers and
guides, restorative services, referral to other agencies, support
groups, community integration); (d) outreach services; (e) community
awareness; and (f) community capacity.

Prior to FY 1995, states competed against each other every 3 years for
limited VII‑2 grant awards averaging approximately \$200,000 annually
per program. Because all states competed for a limited number of awards
at the existing level of funding, only one‑half to two‑thirds were
accommodated during each 3-year cycle. There was no assurance which
states would be funded from one cycle to the next. Program staff were
unable to predict the likelihood of continuing services beyond the
existing award cycle. This precipitated a great deal of instability in
program services and program staffing.

At the urging of the National Council of State Agencies for the Blind
(NCSAB) and many state VII‑2 program administrators, a major change
occurred in the VII-2 funding allocations in FY 1995. RSA agreed to
consider funding a larger number of programs (at a reduced rate), in
order to create a more equitable situation among states and to eliminate
wasteful elements that resulted from beginning and ending programs every
3 years. It was determined that all viable applications would be funded.
RSA also increased the funding cycle from 3 to 5 years, greatly
increasing stability within the programs. The program was converted from
a discretionary grant program to a formula grant when the \$13 million
\"trigger\" was reached in FY2000. For a historical review of the VII-2
program, see Moore (2003), Moore & Stephens (1994), Orr & Rogers (2001)
and Rogers & Orr (1999).

**Federal Program Funding**

The Congressional appropriation for FY 2002 was \$24,750,000, a 24%
increase over the FY 2001 funding level of \$20,000,000. All 50 states,
plus the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam,
Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa were funded by the VII‑2
Program in FY 2002. Reporting forms were received from all programs
except the Virgin Islands and Guam. These 54 agencies reported in Part
I, section (A):1, \$25,771,758, ( it is assumed this included carry-over
funds due to total funding reported exceeding the appropriation). This
reported total represents an increase of 18% over the 56 programs funded
in FY 2001.

Reported funding levels ranged from \$40,000 to \$2,879,647 per year
(see Appendix for individual states and sources of funding). The average
amount of Title VII Chapter 2 federal funding \[as reported in Part I,
section (A)\] per funded program was \$460,210 (\$25,771,75856). This
average per program allotment was increased by \$68,817 (18%) from FY
2001 to FY 2002.

The following table outlines the funding history of the VII‑2 Program
from its beginning 15 years ago. The federal funding average per program
presented in the

table is based on total federal dollars appropriated, divided by the
number of programs funded in a particular year. The federal funding
average per program may vary slightly from figures published in previous
reports which aggregated the amount of federal funding as reported by
each program, as opposed to a calculated average.

Because some of the VII-2 allotment is expended by the federal
government prior to distribution to states, the calculated per program
average (total federal dollars divided by the number of funded programs)
is slightly higher than the actual amount allotted.

**Program Data Collection**

From 1987 until 1993, the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center
(RRTC) on Blindness and Low Vision at Mississippi State University, and
NCSAB collaboratively solicited data from programs for program
evaluation purposes. During this time-frame, program directors from each
state receiving VII‑2 funds voluntarily submitted data on an annual
basis in order to construct a profile of these programs throughout the
country. This collection of data allowed the RRTC and NCSAB to generate
a profile of older Americans who are participants in programs supported
by VII‑2 funds. These program data have been published and disseminated
annually.

In FY 1994, RSA began to require states that are funded under VII-2 to
provide a minimum data set similar to that previously collected by the
RRTC. Since that time, the RRTC has written, and RSA has published, a
report based upon the data collected from all programs that receive
VII‑2 funds. The data reported herein were collected from all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and
American Samoa. Reporting forms were not received from Guam or the
Virgin Islands. This report, compiled by the RRTC on Blindness and Low
Vision, covers data related to program activities in FY 2002 based upon
the information submitted by the programs on Form 7-OB to RSA. FY 2002
encompasses the time period October 1, 2001 to September 30, 2002.

Each program was provided a reporting form along with instructions at
the beginning of the fiscal year to facilitate adequate data collection
throughout the year. All program directors were asked to submit their
data to RSA for the fiscal year by December 31, 2002. In addition, an
electronic copy of each form was sent to the RRTC.

The data reporting instrument (ED (RSA)-7-OB Form) was expanded for FY
2001 to collect more information related to staff, consumer
demographics, cost of services, and services provided. Section I,
sources and amounts of funding, on the new form remained the same as the
previous form. Section II expanded the staffing information to include
the number of staff who were racial/ethnic minorities with a disability.
Section III records individual client data and included the most new
information. The new information included: cause of visual impairment,
onset of significant vision loss, highest level of education completed,
type of living arrangement, setting of residence at time of intake, and
source of referral. Section IV recorded the number of clients receiving
one or more services under the Title VII-Chapter 2 Program, listed the
types of services provided and resources allocated. This section was
changed to separate cost information from Title VII-2 funds and costs
from other funds. Also, there were several changes in the Aservices
provided@ parts of Section VI. These sections are designed to collect
information related to the core services outlined in the grant
regulations, as well as other demographic and program data that are
germane in developing an aggregate profile of program participants and
program activities. Most information is presented in aggregate form;
however, at the request of RSA, individual programs are identified
within portions of the data set (see Appendix). Additionally, each
program retains its own database and can compare its particular profile
and performance with other programs.

**Sources of Funding**

Programs supported with VII‑2 funds were asked to report the amount of
federal (VII-2), other federal, state, third party, and in‑kind
contributions received during the fiscal year. Based on the programs=
reported funded dollar amount, including carry-over (\$25,771,758), the
average total cost per program was \$460,210. Other sources of federal
funds could include Social Security reimbursement funds and Title VII,
Part B funds.

Seventeen states expended other federal dollars; average per program (as
calculated by averaging among all 56 programs) was \$86,885, a 7.2%
decrease from the \$93,580 reported in 2001. Cost-sharing is required of
all states, and the number of states reporting a state dollar
contribution decreased from 45 in FY 2001 to 43 in FY 2002. The average
amount of state funding provided per program was \$149,287, a 39.6%
increase from the \$106,946 reported in FY 2001. The average total cost
per program for FY2002 was \$799,287 (\$44,600,07356). This average
reflects a 14.4% increase over the \$672,942 average for FY2001. The
FY2002 average cost per program includes administration and overhead
costs, and costs for [direct services]{.underline}. The average
administration and overhead costs, for all programs, was \$137,416, a
63% increase from the \$84,124 reported in FY 2001. Also, the average
total cost per program for [direct services]{.underline} increased 28%
from \$588,818 in FY 2001 to \$661,870 in FY 2002.

\* **Averages are for all 56 programs, regardless of the number of
programs actually reporting.**

![](media/image1.wmf){width="6.084722222222222in" height="3.81875in"}

The average overall non‑federal support per program increased from
\$187,969 to \$252,192, a 34% increase. The overall average funding per
program was \$799,287, a 18.8% increase over the calculated \$672,942 in
FY 2001. These data reveal that 58% of all program funds continue to be
federal VII‑2 dollars. In addition,11% are other federal dollars, and
31% are from non‑federal sources (state dollars, in‑kind contributions,
and third‑party contributions). The overall ratio of the VII-2 portion
of the funding pie was unchanged from FY 2001.

![](media/image2.wmf){width="5.9375in" height="3.7680555555555557in"}

Third party contributions were reported by 17 programs, up from the 15
reported in FY 2001. The overall average of third party contributions
per program increased from \$22,723 to \$49,279, a 117% increase.
In‑kind contributions were reported by 19 states, which is identical to
the number reported in FY:2001. The overall average for in‑kind
contributions in FY 2002 was \$53,626, compared to the previous year=s
\$58,300, an 8% decrease. (See Appendix for individual states, sources
of funding, and type of expenditures.)

Program services consume the bulk of all program expenditures (83%).
During the past several years administrative costs trended lower to a
FY2001 level of 12%. However, FY2002 data reveal an increase to 17%.
These overhead and administrative costs, as a percent of total costs,
represent a ratio not experienced since FY1995 Some state agencies are
experiencing tremendous financial pressures from budget shortfalls;
therefore, these data may indicate a return to higher percentages of
funding directed toward administrative costs.

**Program Staffing**

Six percent of all program staff are classified as administrative, 2%
less than the previous year. Staff who provide direct services was 31%,
9% lower than the previous year. Volunteers increased from 50% to 54%,
and due to changes in the reporting form, consultants were no longer
reported by the states. The new form separated staff into two
categories, state agency staff and contractor staff. This information
indicated state agency staff comprised 25.5% of the total staff and
74.5% were contractors. There was an overall increase in the total FTE
(full-time equivalent) positions (from 1852 to 2487.36). Also, the
average FTE per program increased (from 31 to 44.43). The form also
captures the number of staff that considered themselves Bilingual as
well as what additional languages were spoken. This item indicated
183.74 (7.4%) staff FTEs considered themselves to be Bilingual with
Spanish or Spanish accompanied with another language being the most
common other language spoken. However, this information should be
utilized with caution because the form only allows for a simple listing
of the other languages spoken. This listing included Spanish, Spanish
and other, Japanese, French, Other, and Sign Language. However, there is
no definitive way to report the exact number of staff that speak any
specific other language.

Among all staff, including volunteers, 17% have some type of disability
compared to 22% in the previous fiscal year. The number of all staff
reflecting minority status decreased from 12% to 11%. The highest ratios
of persons with disabilities in descending order are direct service
staff, 58%; volunteers, 23%; support staff, 10%; administrative staff,
9%. The highest ratios of persons of minority status compared to the
total FTEs in that specific category, in descending order are direct
service staff, 57%; volunteers, 18%; support staff, 17%; and
administration, 8%. (See Appendix for individual states and staffing.)

**Participant Characteristics**

As reported earlier, the annual reporting form was revised in FY 2001.
During the first year the new form included large amounts of missing
data in all of the new and many of the old categories of participant
characteristics, The amount of missing data decreased during FY2002;
however, missing data still represent a substantial percentage of
consumers in certain categories. These missing data are not included in
any of the percentage calculations of participant characteristics
provided in this report; however, the missing data are stated for each
section, either in the narrative or as an accompanying explanation for
any charts or tables. Continuing to minimize the amount of missing data
will increase the reliability of the aggregated results included in this
report and allow more accurate interpretations of the data.

**Gender.** Of those reporting gender, more than 7 out of 10 consumers
(71%) are female and 29% of program participants are male. The gender
ratio of 70% females served is typical among this population due to
variations in life expectancy between genders.

**Race/Ethnicity**. Past reports have compared the race/ethnicity
percentages of consumers served by the IL program with national
race/ethnicity estimates; however, new census data allow comparisons
with national race/ethnicity estimates for only people over 55 years of
age. The following table indicates that on a national level the IL
program is doing very well serving minorities; nevertheless,
considerable research is needed to examine individual states to
determine if some states skew the aggregate data. In addition, it should
be noted that 13% of consumers receiving one or more services were not
reported in the race/ethnicity section of the reporting form.

Of those reporting degree of visual impairment, over 6 out of 10
consumers (65%) were legally blind and 29% were classified as having a
severe visual impairment that impacted upon their ability to function
independently. In addition, 6% of consumers reported they were totally
blind. It should be noted that degree of visual impairment was not
collected from 16% of consumers that received one or more services and
these missing data are not included in the previous percentage
calculations. [(S]{.smallcaps}ee [A]{.smallcaps}ppendix for individual
states and data on individuals served.)

As reported earlier, FY2001 marked the addition of several new reporting
elements within many sections of the annual reporting form. One of these
elements was the nature of condition resulting in a consumer=s visual
impairment. Of those reporting the major cause of visual impairment,
almost 6 out of 10 consumers (59%) listed macular degeneration as their
major cause of visual impairment; 12% listed diabetic retinopathy, 10%
listed glaucoma, 4% listed cataracts, and 15% reported other causes of
visual impairment. It should be noted that cause of visual impairment
was not collected from 20% of consumers that received one or more
services and these missing data are not included in the percentage
calculations.

![](media/image10.wmf){width="6.435416666666667in"
height="3.904166666666667in"}

The revised form also included a new data element related to *onset of
visual impairment*. Of those reporting onset of visual impairment, 35%
reported their vision loss began 1 to 3 years prior to receiving
services from a Title-VII program. Also, 17% reported their vision loss
began less than 1 year prior; 19% 4 to 6 years prior; 21%, 10 years or
more prior; and 8% reported their vision loss began 7-9 years prior. It
should be noted that onset of visual loss was not collected from 36% of
consumers that received one or more services and these missing data are
not included in the percentage calculations

![](media/image11.wmf){width="6.3284722222222225in"
height="4.663194444444445in"}

The total number of consumers served in FY 2002 ([as reported within
Part IV]{.underline}) was 60,039 compared to 58,436 in FY 2001. However,
this number exceeds the 55,421 (4,618 missing data/not recorded) cases
reported in Part III under Age categories. The number served in FY 2002
reflects a 2.7% increase in the individuals served compared to the
previous year. These programs appear to be making judicious use of
limited federal funds. The average [direct]{.underline} expenditure per
consumer was \$617 (an increase of \$53 from last year). Unfortunately,
despite the increase in the number of individuals served, this is a very
small percentage of the estimated number of those who might benefit from
such a program.

States vary in the way they collect data on non-visual disabilities.
Some states only account for the first non-visual disability, while
others record more than one. Also, the new form included the item *Data
not recorded* in the non-visual impairment section. Data were not
recorded for 19% of the consumers receiving one or more services from
the Title-VII program. Therefore, the reported percentages are based
only on those consumers for which a non-visual impairment was recorded.
Additionally, because some states report more than one non-visual
disability, the percentages sum to more than 100%.

![](media/image12.wmf){width="6.274305555555555in"
height="4.278472222222222in"}

The most prevalent non‑visual disability reported among consumers
reporting a non-visual impairment were cardiovascular disease, 32%;
musculoskeletal disorders, 26%; diabetes, 22%; and hearing impairment,
19%. Other impairments were neurological changes, 8%; respiratory or
lung conditions, 7%; cancer, 5%; alterations in mental functioning, 4%;
and other, 14% (includes kidney failure).

More than seven out of 10 consumers (71%) were 75 years of age or older.
Fifty-three percent were age 80 or older, and more than 3 out of 10
(31%) were age 85 years or older. During the past 10 years, the average
number of consumers age 80 and older has been trending toward half of
the total number served and last year marked the first time persons age
80 and over comprised over half (53%) of persons receiving at least one
service provided by the Title VII-Chapter 2 Program. It is notable that
this trend was continued this year with 54% of consumers age 80 or
above.

The *Highest Level of Education Completed* was added to the revised
form. Of those reporting educational level, 43% of consumers receiving
one or more services had completed high school and 24% had received some
education beyond high school. Only 33% had completed less than a high
school education. It should be noted that highest level of education was
not collected from 31% of consumers that received one or more services
and these missing data are not included in the percentage calculations

Each consumer=s *Living Arrangement at Time of Intake* was another new
item included on the revised form. This item indicated 54% of consumers
receiving at least one service lived alone at the time of intake.
Additionally, 30% lived with their spouse, 2% lived with a personal care
assistant, and 14% reported other types of living arrangement at intake.
It should be noted that living arrangement at the time of intake was not
collected from 21% of consumers that received one or more services and
these missing data are not included in the percentage calculations.

![](media/image17.wmf){width="6.227777777777778in"

Each consumer=s *Setting of Residence at Time of Intake* was another
item added to the new form. This item indicated 83% of consumers
receiving at least one service lived in a private residence, apartment,
or home at the time of their intake. Additionally, 5% lived in an
Assisted Living Center, 5% lived in a community center, 3% lived in a
long-tern care facility, and 4% indicated some other type of living
arrangement at intake. It should be noted that type of residence at the
time of intake was not collected from 23% of consumers that received one

percentage calculations.

height="4.763888888888889in"}

The *Source of Each Consumer=s Referral* to the Title VII Program was
another new item on the revised form. This item indicated 22% of
consumers were referred by their eye care provider, 20% by
self-referral, 19% by a family member or friend, 11% by a social service
agency, 7% by a vocational rehabilitation agency, 6% by a general
practitioner or related medical personnel, 4% by a senior program, and
11% by some other type of referral. This information was not collected
from 16% of the consumers receiving at least one service and these
missing data are not included in the percentage calculations.

**Services and Outcomes**

The number of consumers served annually by VII‑2 programs appeared to
correlate with the funding cycles designated by RSA. In the past, the
initial year of the 3-year funding cycle yielded the lowest number of
participants, while the final year netted the highest. This phenomenon
may have been attributable to predictable new program start‑up delays,
such as those often encountered in recruiting, hiring, and training new
staff. The average number of persons served per program followed this
same pattern; however, the overall number of persons served has
increased notably over the past several fiscal years due to the increase
in the number of programs funded and increased funding. The average
number of persons served per program continued to increase from the
previous year with 1,072 (60,03956) or 1112 persons served per program
for the 54 reporting agencies.

![](media/image19.wmf){width="6.31875in" height="4.246527777777778in"}

Perhaps one of the better ways of observing the depths of services
provided among programs is to determine the ratio of those served who
actually receive training for the development of skills related to
Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Consider that the average number of
consumers served per program in the initial 3-year funding cycle
(FY1989‑1991) was 501, compared to 397 in the second funding cycle

(FY1992‑1994), a 21% decrease. It rose to 516 in the third funding cycle
(FY 1995-1997), a 30% increase. This year=s average number of consumers
served per program was 1,072, a 2.7% increase from the previous year=s
average and has more than doubled the average of the third funding cycle
(FY 1995-1997). In addition, the average number of persons who actually
received training in ADL skills throughout the past 3 funding cycles
increased from 210 to 283 to 367. The average number of persons per
program receiving training in ADL skills in FY 2002 was 529. This number
of consumers receiving training in daily living skills increased from
505 in FY 2001. This indicates an increase from the previous year in the
ratio of those receiving ADL skills training to the total number served.
The ratio in FY2002 was 49.4% compared to 48% for FY 2001.

![](media/image20.wmf){width="5.841666666666667in"
height="3.967361111111111in"}

Skills training in orientation & mobility, communication, activities of
daily living, advocacy, management of secondary disabilities, and low
vision training comprised the primary categories of training services
among these programs in FY 2002. Additional categories of services
provided included low vision exams/screening/services, family
counseling, transportation, readers or sighted guides, physical
restoration, referral to vocational rehabilitation, referral to other
agencies, PEER or support groups, and community integration. More than
21,527 consumers were referred to other agencies (including vocational
rehabilitation) for services, at no cost to the VII-2 program. This is
an increase of 3,767 from the previous year.

There has been an increase since last year in the average number of
participants per program receiving each service except community
integration (-23), restoration (-22), referrals to support groups (B18),
and readers (-18). The greatest increase was found in low vision
training (average increase of 97 participants). Other notable increases
included O&M Training (+61), communication (+61), low vision screening
(+55), referral to VR (+52), ADL (+24), and other referrals (+14). The
average number of consumers receiving low vision training increased to
403 consumers. This training allows consumers to maximize their residual
vision.

The revised form for FY 2001 included cost of services provided
([reported in Part VI]{.underline}). The revised form separated federal
funds from other sources of service funds. On average, programs spent
\$213,704 (\$140,690 federal and \$73,014 other source of funds) for
training, \$123,255 (\$79,164 federal and \$44,091 other source of
funds) for individual services, and \$124,959 (\$104,596 federal and
\$20,363 other source of funds) for the purchase of adaptive aids,
devices, or equipment. This total (\$461,918) is substantially less than
the average cost of direct services reported (\$661,870).

**Consumer Comments**

Several of the 7-OB forms contained consumer comments in response to the
question, AWhat was the greatest difference this program made in your
life?@ While it was not possible to summarize the results of the Program
Participant Survey instrument, the following comments were typical of
those mentioned most frequently by elders throughout the country (a
special effort was made to capture participant comments verbatim;
therefore, some deficiencies in grammar, syntax, and clarity of
expression may be noted):

**Summary**

Collection and compilation of these data have helped profile Title
VII-Chapter 2 programs over the past 12 years. These profiles are one of
several ways of viewing the benefits and outcomes of these less visible,
yet critically important programs. These data should aid policy makers
and program administrators alike in shaping the future of services for
individuals who are older and visually impaired.

Increases in funding and implementation of a formula grant have
strengthened and added stability to the program. The net results as
reflected in this document are as follows: (a) more people continue to
be served, (b) a larger ratio of those being served are receiving ADL
skills training and other core services, (c) more programs are
increasing the level of local resources contributed, (d) program
stability and efficacy have increased, and (e) substantially more
consumers are being referred to other agencies for services at no cost
to the VII-2 program.

It is apparent that programs such as those funded under Title
VII-Chapter 2 of the Rehabilitation Act are frugal, yet cost effective.
Although these programs have generally maintained their level of service
provision despite minimal increases in funding allotments, the number of
persons served remains limited to a very small percentage of those who
are thought eligible to benefit from these services. Federal and state
policy makers and administrators might view the funding of these
programs as an investment because it is arguable that in many instances,
these programs prevent and/or delay the need for high‑cost institutional
or supported living care by extending active life expectancy.

The leaders of the NCSAB and the RRTC on Blindness and Low Vision who
initially defined and began this process of data collection are to be
commended. The leadership within the Rehabilitation Services
Administration are to be commended for their resolve to continually
expand and improve the VII‑2 programs, in part via an annual analysis of
what has become a minimum data set.

**Recommendations**

Program administrators should always be mindful of ways to improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of programs serving individuals who are
blind or severely visually impaired. For the most part, the clearer the
picture one gleans from program data, the more objective the planning
and service delivery process becomes. Thus, it is important that program
administrators continually strive to improve their data collection
instruments and procedures.

Upon viewing the data set from fiscal year 2002, the following
recommendations are made in the spirit of improving the program:

(34) RSA should develop and implement strategies, in collaboration with
     the VR agency grantees and contractors, to reduce the amount of
     not-reported or missing data, especially in areas that should
     routinely be captured (e.g., age of consumers, degree of visual
     impairment, cause of visual impairment, etc.).

> **Rational**: While the amount of missing data has been reduced from
> FY2001, large portions of key data elements remain unreported (e.g.,
> degree of visual impairment \[i.e. legally blind, totally blind, or
> severe visual impairment\] was not collected for 16% of consumers
> served; cause of visual impairment \[i.e. macular degeneration,
> diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts, etc.\] was not collected
> from 20% of the consumers served).

(35) RSA should provide technical assistance to Guam and the Virgin
     Islands relative to the completion of their annual Form 7OB data
     report.

> **Rational:** Form 7OB program data have not been reported for the
> past two consecutive fiscal years as required by 34 CFR 367.11(d).

(36) All VR agency grantees and contractors should be encouraged to
     increase the utilization of In-Kind contributions as permitted
     under the statute and federal regulating guidelines.

> **Rational:** Only 19 states reported use of In-Kind contributions in
> FY2002 (same as in FY2001). Use of In-Kind contributions are
> acceptable as a match/cost sharing mechanism and extend the use of
> limited state dollars: and

(37) RSA should ensure that all grantees make available and report
     minimal non-federal contributions (match/cost-sharing) as required
     in Section 752 (f)(1) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as
     amended.

> **Rational**: Several states reported expenditures less than \$1 for
> each \$9 of Federal Funds provided in the grant as required in 34 CFR
> 367-11 (b).
