Performance Measures: The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) directs Federal departments and agencies to improve the effectiveness of programs by engaging in strategic planning, setting outcome-related goals for programs, and measuring program results against those goals. The goal of the Model Demonstration Projects to Improve Outcomes for Individuals Receiving SSDI Served by State VR Agencies is to VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:01 Aug 06, 2010 Jkt 220001 enhance qualitative and quantitative employment outcomes for SSDI beneficiaries served by State VR agencies. In order to assess the success of the grantee in meeting this goal, the Department will convene a panel of experts to conduct reviews in the second and fourth years of the project. Based on the second year review of the grantee’s annual performance reports and the panel of experts review, the Department will determine the feasibility of the intervention model developed in accordance with paragraph (b). If determined feasible, the grantee must implement, demonstrate, and evaluate an intervention model that can be replicated in other State VR agencies, as required by the absolute priority in paragraphs (c)–(d). The Department will assess the effectiveness of the model and the grantee’s performance in the following areas: • The degree to which the data collected from the project sites show that the intervention model results in improved employment outcomes for SSDI beneficiaries, such as employment rate, wages at case closure, average hours worked, and percentage of individuals earning an amount greater than substantial gainful activity (SGA), as determined by the Social Security Administration, at closure. • The degree to which the project recommended strategies that could be used by other State VR agencies to implement the model. • The degree to which the grantee has disseminated its findings to State VR agencies. • The responsiveness by the grantee to recommendations from the biannual reviews.
