Title of Collection: Evaluation of State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency Administration of Supported Employment Programs. OMB Control Number: Pending. Type of Review: New. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 80. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 249. Abstract: 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 to receive funding from the basic Title I formula grant program. The Supported Employment (SE) Grant Program provides funding to assist States in developing and implementing collaborative programs with appropriate entities to provide SE services to individuals with the most significant disabilities who require SE services to achieve employment outcomes under Title VI Part B of the Rehabilitation Act for the SE State Grants Program. SE funds are used to supplement funds provided under the State VR grants program for the cost of providing SE services. Funds cannot be used to provide extended services necessary to maintain individuals in employment after the end of SE services, which usually do not exceed 18 months. RSA proposes to conduct a national survey of all 80 state VR agencies. RSA seeks to evaluate how State VR agencies implement supported employment PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 services for individuals with disabilities, how state VR agencies use Title VI Part B funds in conjunction with Title I funds to fund supported employment programs, and whether State VR agencies are effective in obtaining supported employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities. The evaluation also seeks to identify the factors that contribute to successful supported employment outcomes. RSA will address the following objectives: • Identify agency practices with respect to providing SE services; • Determine how agencies use Title VI–B, Title I and other funds to provide SE; and • Determine how agency practices affect the achievement of SE outcomes.
