Definitions:
“Individual served” or “person served,” means an individual for whom services by a PWI project have been initiated with the objective that those services will result in placement in competitive employment (34 CFR 379.5(b)(6)).
“Individual Placed” means an individual who has attained competitive employment as a result of receiving services from the PWI project and has maintained employment for a period of at least 90 days (also referred to as a “placement”).
“Competitive employment”, as used in the definition of a placement outcome under this program, means work in the competitive labor market that is performed on a full-time or part-time basis in an integrated setting; and for which an individual is compensated at or above the minimum wage, but not less than the customary or usual wage and terms and benefits provided by the employer for the same or similar work performed by individuals who are not disabled (34 CFR 379.5(b)(2)).
“Exited the program” - An individual is considered to have exited the program when either the participant has been placed into competitive employment or the participant has not received a project service for 90 consecutive calendar days, excluding follow-up services or regular contact with the participant or employer to obtain information regarding the individual’s employment status or need for additional services after the individual has been placed. Participants who have a planned gap in service of greater than 90 days are not considered to have exited the program if the gap in service is due to a temporary time-limited delay or disruption in the receipt of service.
“Individualized Education Program (IEP)” – A written statement developed for each child with a disability in accordance with section 614 (d) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
“504 Plan” – A plan developed by a preschool, elementary, or secondary educational program that is subject to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act describing the appropriate educational services, modifications, and accommodations to be provided to meet the individual needs of a qualified student who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, to the same extent as the needs of students without disabilities are met.

The Department will calculate the actual average cost per placement by dividing the sum of the project costs in item number 13 (i.e., Federal dollar amount of the grant plus the total non-Federal contribution) by the number of individuals successfully placed as reported in item number 2. The Department will then compare this figure to the projected average cost per placement. The Department will calculate the projected average cost per placement by dividing the sum of the project costs in item number 12 (i.e., Federal dollar amount of the grant plus the total non-Federal contribution) by the number of individuals the applicant projected in its application would be placed by the project.
PART III - PERFORMANCE DATA
The annual performance data demonstrates whether substantial progress has been made toward meeting the grantee’s individual project objectives as stated in the approved grant application. For the PWI program, the information described in these instructions will provide the U.S. Department of Education (ED) with the information needed to determine whether recipients have demonstrated substantial progress. Performance reporting requirements are found in 34 CFR 74.51, 75.118, 75.253, 75.590 and 80.40 of the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR).
