Vocational Rehabilitation Grants 

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 1820–NEW. 

Type of Review: a new information

Abstract: The Vocational 

Rehabilitation (VR) Program provides a 

wide range of services to help 

individuals with disabilities to prepare 

for and engage in gainful employment. 

Eligible individuals are those who have 

a physical or mental impairment that 

results in a substantial impediment to 

employment, who can benefit from VR 

services for employment, and who 

require VR services. If a State is unable 

to serve all eligible individuals, priority 

must be given to serving individuals 

with the most significant disabilities. 

The program is funded through formulabased grants awarded by the 

Rehabilitation Services Administration 

(RSA) to State VR agencies receive 

funding from the basic Title I formula 

grant program. 

The Rehabilitation Act Title I formula 

grant program provides funds to 

Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies 

to help individuals with disabilities 

prepare for and engage in gainful 

employment consistent with their 

strengths, abilities, interests, and 

informed choice through such supports 

as counseling, medical, and 

psychological services, job training, and 

other individualized services. 

RSA proposes to conduct a national 

survey of all 80 state VR agencies. RSA 

seeks to evaluate how State VR agencies 

deliver services for individuals with 

disabilities, how and to what extent 

state VR agencies work with partner 

agencies or programs to deliver services, 

and to review program outcomes and 

their associated costs, including 

identifying cost effective practices for 

serving specific target populations. 

RSA will address the following 

objectives: determine the methods and 

practices used by State VR agencies in 

delivering services to individuals with 

disabilities, including optimal patterns 

of delivery in serving specific 

populations; determine how, and to 

what extent, State VR agencies work 

with partner agencies or programs to 

deliver services; examine program 

outcomes and their associated costs, 

including identifying cost effective 

practices for serving specific target 

populations.
