Abstract: As required by sections 13, 

101(a)(10), 106 and 626 of the 

Rehabilitation Act, the data are 

submitted annually by State Vocational 

Rehabilitation agencies. Section 13 of 

the Act requires the Commissioner to 

collect and report information specified 

in section 101(a)(10) to the Congress and 

the President in the Annual Report. 

Section 626 requires the same 

information to be reported for 

individuals who received supported 

employment services. Data on persons 

served are needed, too, to satisfy section 

131 calling for an exchange of data 

between RSA, the Social Security 

Administration (SSA) and the 

Department of Labor (DOL). 

Section 106 requires RSA to define 

performance indicators and establish 

standards, which State Vocational 

Rehabilitation agencies must achieve to 

retain program benefits. A subset of data 

elements from this reporting instrument 

are abstracted, aggregated, and applied 

according to prescribed formulae to 

generate the performance indicators for 

each State Vocational Rehabilitation 

agency. The results of such calculations 

are then compared to the established 

standards to determine agency 

performance.
