§8104. Vocational rehabilitation
(a) The Secretary of Labor may direct a permanently disabled individual whose disability is compensable under this subchapter to undergo vocational rehabilitation. The Secretary shall provide for furnishing the vocational rehabilitation services. In providing for these services, the Secretary, insofar as practicable, shall use the services or facilities of State agencies and corresponding agencies which cooperate with the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare in carrying out the purposes of chapter 4 of title 29, except to the extent that the Secretary of Labor provides for furnishing these services under section 8103 of this title. The cost of providing these services to individuals undergoing vocational rehabilitation under this section shall be paid from the Employees' Compensation Fund. However, in reimbursing a State or corresponding agency under an arrangement pursuant to this section the cost to the agency reimbursable in full under section 32(b)(1) of title 29 is excluded.
(b) Notwithstanding section 8106, individuals directed to undergo vocational rehabilitation by the Secretary shall, while undergoing such rehabilitation, receive compensation at the rate provided in sections 8105 and 8110 of this title, less the amount of any earnings received from remunerative employment, other than employment undertaken pursuant to such rehabilitation.
( Pub. L. 89–554, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 535 ; Pub. L. 93–416, §3, Sept. 7, 1974, 88 Stat. 1144 .)
5 U.S.C. 759(b). Oct. 14, 1949, ch. 691, §202(a), 63 Stat. 862 .
In the third sentence, the words "the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare" are substituted for "him", referring to the Administrator, on authority of section 1 (proviso) of 1950 Reorg. Plan No. 19, 64 Stat. 1271, and section 5 of 1953 Reorg. Plan No. 1, 67 Stat. 632.
The words "State agencies or corresponding agencies" are substituted for "State agencies (or corresponding agencies in Territories or possessions)" as the agencies available for cooperation are set out in the Vocational Rehabilitation Act (chapter 4 of title 29).
The words "section 32(b)(1) of title 29" are substituted for "section 33(a) (4) of title 29" on authority of the Act of Aug. 3, 1954, ch. 655, §2, 68 Stat. 652 . Reference is limited to section 32(b)(1) since section 32(b) (2), (3) is obsolete.
Chapter 4 of title 29, referred to in subsec. (a), refers to the Vocational Rehabilitation Act, act June 2, 1920, ch. 219, 41 Stat. 735 , as amended. Section 32(b)(1) of title 29, also referred to in subsec. (a) (enacted Sept. 6, 1966), did not reflect amendment of section 32(b) by Pub. L. 89–333 §2(a), Nov. 8, 1965, 79 Stat. 1282, which eliminated obsolete pars. (2) and (3) and redesignated par. (1) provisions as subsec. (b) and amended such subsection. Section 32(b) of title 29, refers to section 2(b) of act June 2, 1920, as amended. Such provisions were repealed by former section 500(a) of Pub. L. 93–112, title V, Sept. 26, 1973, 87 Stat. 390 , and pursuant to former section 500(a) of Pub. L. 93–112, which also provided that references to the Vocational Rehabilitation Act in other provisions of law were to be deemed a reference to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and were covered by sections 701 et seq. and 731(a), respectively, of Title 29, Labor.
1974-Pub. L. 93–416 designated existing provisions as subsec. (a) and added subsec. (b).
