Vocational Rehabilitation
State Grants - Title 1 Part - B
Description: Provides additional grant funds to states to support the existing VR State Grant Program which provides services to individuals with disabilities to prepare for and engage in gainful employment. The additional federal funds will be used to assist individuals who have a physical or mental impairment that results in a substantial impediment to employment, who can benefit from vocational rehabilitation (VR) services for employment, and who require VR services.
Funding Mechanism: Funds are distributed to states and territories based on a formula that takes into account population and per capita income to cover the cost of direct services and program administration. This is a federal draw program. Wisconsin expends the funds on persons with disabilities that have an approved Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE). There is no match requirement for the additional federal funds.
