Technical Help . VR Provider Handbook . A new funding stream APs believe that it is just a healthy business practice to take advantage of any opportunity to diversify. They believe that Project RSVP represents an additional funding stream. SSA has set a clear priority to reduce the costs of its SSI and SSDI programs.

APs have said that as more and more businesses and State agencies move toward outcome-based VR systems, Project RSVP offers them an opportunity to develop the expertise necessary to remain viable in this new business environment. Greater control over the rehabilitation process APs have stated that this program gives them the ability to devote more of their time to working directly with beneficiaries, rather than filing reports. Development of the employment plan and the success of rehabilitation only require cooperation of the AP and the beneficiary. The program allows APs to focus their efforts on providing rehabilitation services, instead of getting approvals or filing reports. This not only saves time and greatly reduces overhead costs, but it also allows APs to spend more time working with clients, which is why they were attracted to the profession in the first place.
