Form RSA-911 Case Service Report Manual

The data comprising the Case Service Report (RSA-911) are mandated by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (the Act), as amended by title IV of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Applicable portions of the Act explicitly or implicitly require the collecting and reporting of specific data elements by State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies to the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) for the VR and Supported Employment (SE) programs. In addition, reporting requirements to support the performance accountability system under section 116 of title I of WIOA are applicable to the VR program, as one of the six core programs of the Workforce Development System.

This revised data collection incorporates new reporting requirements in section 116(b) in title I of WIOA and sections 101(a)(10) and 607 of the Act, as amended by WIOA. New requirements under section 101(a)(10) include, for example, the reporting of data on the number of individuals with open service records and the types of services these individuals are receiving (including SE services); students with disabilities receiving pre-employment transition services; and individuals referred to the VR program by one-stop operators and individuals referred to such one-stop operators by VR agencies.

Section 116 of title I of WIOA requires the reporting of data needed to calculate State performance on the primary indicators of performance for the core programs. In addition, States must report information on barriers to employment for participants under each of the core programs. The data reported by States will be used by both the Departments of Education and Labor to determine State levels of performance on the primary indicators that could form the basis for the imposition of financial sanctions against a State, as described in the WIOA Joint Final Rule. Therefore, it is critical that the data reported be accurate and submitted timely.

Internal Controls

In accordance with 34 CFR 361.12, VR agencies must implement policies and procedures that ensure the proper and efficient administration of the VR program, including those necessary to carry out all functions for which the State is responsible under this program. These methods must include procedures to ensure accurate data collection and financial accountability. It is incumbent on VR agencies to establish policies and procedures that ensure the accurate collection, retention, and timely reporting of all data.

The Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR 200.61) defines internal controls as:

a process, implemented by a non-Federal entity, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the following categories:

(a) Effectiveness and efficiency of operations;

(b) Reliability of reporting for internal and external use; and

VR agencies must establish and maintain internal control processes necessary to ensure the State’s ability to meet the internal control requirements.

The RSA Commissioner (Commissioner) is responsible for the review and monitoring of State VR programs to determine whether a State is complying substantially with the provisions of the VR portion of the Unified or Combined State Plan. The reliability and validity of data reported in the RSA-911 may be subject to desk review, monitoring and/or audits. Sections 107(b) and (c) of the Act specify the remedies available to the Commissioner if a State fails to satisfy Federal requirements governing the VR program, including requirements related to data reporting. States that fail to meet the data reporting requirements may also face potential consequences resulting from audit findings stemming from Inspector General, State, or Single Audits.

Supporting Documentation

The requirements in 34 CFR 361.47 and 34 CFR 361.56, taken together, require VR agencies to maintain verifying documentation in an individual’s case file, particularly regarding eligibility determinations, development of the individualized plan for employment, services provided, and case closure. It is important to note that the use of an electronic case management system, does not remove the requirement for the agency to maintain either hard copies or scanned copies of required supporting documentation in the individual’s service record. An electronic case management system is merely a data entry process that is susceptible to data entry errors. Requiring staff to note the source of the employment data also does not provide documentation necessary to ensure data validity and reliability. RSA will maintain a table that lists the RSA-911 supporting documentation requirements on RSA’s website at https://rsa.ed.gov.

Case Service Records

The case service record documents the application for and/or provision of VR and SE services to individuals with disabilities, including program outcomes. An individual may have multiple service records resulting from repeated involvement with the VR and SE programs. For example, an individual may receive pre-employment transition services and/or other VR services in secondary school and then years later apply for additional VR services. These two periods of participation in the VR program would constitute separate service records.

Opening of Case Service Record: Under this data collection, VR agencies are required to report data on open service records on a quarterly basis. A service record is opened when either an individual applies for VR services (Date of Application (IV.A)) or, in the case of a student with a disability that is solely receiving pre-employment transition services, the Start Date of Pre-Employment Transition Services (X.A). These dates initiate the quarterly reporting requirement for all individuals with an open service record.

Closure of the Case Service Record: The case service record is considered closed when the individual has a Date of Exit (XVII.A) and all of the required data elements, including the post-exit data elements when required, have been reported. For a student with a disability who solely received pre-employment transition services and has not applied to receive other VR services, the service record is closed when the student is no longer receiving such services as indicated in the pre-employment transition services data elements (X.B-E).

Duplicate individual records will not be accepted. For example, records with the same Social Security Number and Date of Application would be considered a duplicate case service record. If an individual has multiple exits within the same program year, each exit must be reported and cannot overlap. For example, if an individual had more than one Date of Application in a quarter, the Date of Exit (XVII.A) associated with the first application must be a date before the second Date of Application.

Unique Individuals

All service record data submitted for the same reporting period must be associated with a unique individual. Therefore, each individual receiving services must be assigned a Unique Identifier (III.A). This identifier allows RSA to report an unduplicated count of individuals receiving services in accordance with the Joint WIOA Performance Information Collection Request (Joint Performance ICR). The unique identifier will also be used to calculate a count of unique program participants for each State, which will be reported on the State Performance Reporting Template. In addition, the unique identifier provides RSA a means to communicate with agencies regarding an individual’s data elements without the exchange of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). RSA will use the data elements in the table below to identify a unique individual within a data set.

Table 1.1: Individual Identification Data Elements

Date Element	Report Due Date
III.A	Unique Identifier and
III.B	Social Security Number

If an individual does not have a Social Security Number (SSN) or chooses not to provide an SSN, only the Unique Identifier is reported. An individual’s SSN is reported only once to RSA with the Unique Identifier. After that, the Unique Identifier is the only unique individual data element reported with each data submission.

Data Elements

Each data element has an associated data element type that serves as a guide for submitting valid values.

Table 1.2: RSA-911 Data Element Types

Data Type	Description
VARCHAR n	Data can include any letters or numbers with a maximum length defined by “n”. All variable character (VARCHAR) data elements that require numbers use only positive numbers.
DATE (YYYYMMDD)	Data can include dates in the eight-digit format of year, month, and day. All dates reported on the RSA-911 must be in the format of (YYYYMMDD), where (YYYY) is year, (MM) is month and (DD) is day. For Year (YYYY): Record the calendar year using all four digits of the year (e.g., 2016). For Month (MM): Record the months using two digits (e.g., 01 for January, 02 for February, etc.) For Day (DD): Record the day of the month using two digits. When the day is a single digit, add a "0" prefix (e.g., 01, 02, 03, etc.).
Decimal n,x	Data can include a decimal number with a total of number of “n” digits, of which “x” can be after the decimal point.
INT n	Data can include any integer (whole number) with a maximum length of integers as defined by “n”. All integers must be positive.

Due to the length of some of the data element descriptions, each data element has been assigned an “Element Number” to make referencing a data element easier. “Element Number” refers to the assigned data element number (e.g., element number 6 refers to Social Security Number). When “data element” is used, the associated reference is to the location in this document where that data element is located (e.g., data element III.B refers to outline section III.B where the data element, Social Security Number is located).

The data elements have been categorized to indicate the point in the VR process when the data should be collected. The data elements are designed to collect information at a particular point (e.g., application, eligibility, IPE, etc.). In order to ensure data validity, it is important that VR agencies collect and report the data at the correct time.

Data Submission

RSA-911 data must be submitted to RSA on a quarterly basis, no later than 45 days after the end of each quarter in accordance with the following schedule:

Table 1.3: Reporting Dates

Quarter	Reporting Period	Report Due Date
1	July 1 – September 30	November 15
2	October 1 – December 31	February 15
3	January 1 – March 31	May 15
4	April 1 – June 30	August 15

VR agencies will submit a comma delimited data file through an RSA-911 data portal via RSA’s website, https://rsa.ed.gov. Though some elements may be left blank, a comma delimited space must be included for each data element in each submission. The element number refers to the location of the reported response in the comma delimited text string (e.g., the second comma delimited position in the text file would be for Social Security Number).

Each VR Director will receive a userid and password necessary to access the RSA-911 upload data webpage. The VR Director will be responsible for ensuring submission and certification of the RSA-911 data on a quarterly basis. The VR Director may formally delegate this responsibility to another individual who is authorized to certify the data on behalf of the VR agency. End users will be required to reset the password periodically for security purposes.

When uploading data, the RSA-911 upload webpage will capture the following data elements:

Name of Individual Submitting Data – Entered by end user.
Title of Individual Submitting Data – Entered by end user.
Phone Number for Individual Submitting Data – Entered by end user.
Email Address for Individual Submitting Data – Entered by end user.

End users will follow the RSA-911 webpage prompts to upload the data file. Prior to the submission of the data, the VR Director, or individual formally delegated the authority to submit the data on behalf of the VR Director, will be required to certify the following statement:

By submitting this report, I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the report is true, complete, and accurate, and the expenditures reported are for the purposes and objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of the Federal award. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, or the omission of any material fact, may subject me to criminal, civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise.

Edit Checks

RSA will maintain a comprehensive edit check table on RSA’s website, https://www.rsa.ed.gov. The table will detail, by data element, the edit checks required to ensure the integrity of data submissions. Edits describe constraints that should be satisfied by the data. Each data submission will be analyzed to determine whether the data is consistent with the edit checks. Data submissions that fail to pass the edit check will be returned to the VR agency for correction and resubmission. Any corrections made must be consistent with the agency’s electronic case management system and the supporting documentation maintained by the agency.

RSA’s data editing process will utilize both hard and soft edits. Hard edits identify records that “fail” based upon erroneous combinations or missing values. Soft edits are constraints that identify (combinations of) values that are suspicious but not necessarily incorrect.

Due to the number of data elements, RSA will not be issuing an edit check database application to VR agencies. VR agencies are responsible for ensuring that any data submitted conforms to edit check and data submission requirements.

WIOA Participant Individual Record Layout (WIOA PIRL)

The WIOA PIRL is derived from the Joint Performance ICR and provides a standardized set of data elements, definitions, and reporting instructions that will be used to describe the characteristics, activities, and outcomes of WIOA participants. Under the WIOA PIRL, a “participant” for the purpose of the VR program is an individual who has an approved and signed Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) and has begun to receive services. VR agencies are required to collect participant information that corresponds with the data elements and descriptions delineated within the WIOA PIRL. Once collected, RSA will then aggregate this information as specified in the WIOA Annual Statewide Performance Report Specifications, which details the common data elements and technical specifications necessary for calculation of the State and Local Area performance report elements that will be used in reporting across all core programs.

Where there is a direct correlation between a WIOA PIRL data element and an RSA-911 data element, the WIOA PIRL data element number and name have been included. There are additional WIOA PIRL data elements that must be calculated from other RSA-911 data elements. A list of the calculated WIOA PIRL data elements and the methodology used to calculate them will be posted on RSA’s website, https://www.rsa.ed.gov.

Pre-Employment Transition Services

The data elements in the table below are the only ones required if an individual is receiving pre-employment transition services and has not applied for or been determined eligible for VR services.

Table 1.4: Required Data Elements for Individuals Receiving Pre-Employment Transition Services

Data Element	Name
III.A	Unique Identifier
III.B	Social Security Number (if available)
IV.B	Date of Birth
IV.C.2 – IV.C.6	Race – Required if student is in elementary or secondary education.
IV.C.7	Ethnicity – Required if student is in elementary or secondary education.
IV.F	Student with a Disability
X.A	Start Date of Pre-Employment Transition Services
X.B – X.E	Pre-Employment Transition Services

Note: While these are the only required fields for pre-employment transition services, you must report all comma-delimited fields in accordance with the data submission guidelines in Section E, above.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,604 hours per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. The obligation to respond to this collection is mandatory as required by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. Send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the U.S. Department of Education, Rehabilitation Services Administration, Data Unit, 400 Maryland Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20202-2800 or email [email protected] and reference the OMB Control Number 1820-0508.

Unique Identifier Data Elements

Each individual must be assigned a twelve-digit unique identifier. The Unique Identifier must be submitted quarterly for all applicants and eligible individuals, as well as students with a disability who are solely receiving pre-employment transition services and who have not yet applied for VR services. If an individual does not have an SSN or chooses not to provide an SSN, then only the Unique Identifier is reported. An individual’s SSN is reported only one time to RSA with the Unique Identifier. After that, the Unique Identifier is the only unique individual data element reported with each data submission. Once either of these data elements has been reported, the data elements may ONLY be changed by contacting RSA Data Unit staff to initiate a modification.

Unique Identifier

Report: Each Data Submission

Data Type: VARCHAR 12 Change: New

Element Number: 5 Multiple Values Allowed: No

Data entry is required if individual is receiving pre-employment transition services.
WIOA PIRL data element number 100, Unique Individual Identifier.

When assigning the identifier, the first two digits are the State’s Postal Code (IV.D.1) followed by a unique ten-digit number that is not associated with the individual’s SSN. The number must not duplicate any other assigned unique identifiers.

When assigning a unique identifier, ensure that the same twelve-digit identifier is used in subsequent years for the same individual if additional service records are opened for the individual in the future. When a Blind or General agency in the same State identifies that an individual has been or is being served by the other agency, every effort should be made to ensure the same unique identifier is used for both agencies. This is necessary in order to obtain an unduplicated count of individuals being served in a State.

Social Security Number

Report: When Available

Data Type: VARCHAR 9 Change: None

Element Number: 6 Multiple Values Allowed: No

Must be left blank after initial report.
Enter data, if available, for individuals receiving pre-employment transition services.

Record the individual’s nine-digit SSN. Please note that if no SSN is provided, the individual’s wage information cannot be verified through unemployment insurance data and would need to be determined through supplemental information.

Data Elements at Application

The data elements contained in this section are to be reported for each individual who has submitted an application to receive services under the VR program during the quarter. Some of these data elements, as indicated below, must also be reported for students with disabilities who are receiving pre-employment transition services and have not submitted an application to receive VR services consistent with the start date of pre-employment transition services.

Date of Application

Report: Upon Occurrence

Data Type: DATETIME (YYYYMMDD) Change: Revised

Element Number: 7 Multiple Values Allowed: No

Record the date (year, month, and day) that the agency received a completed and signed application form for VR services from the applicant. The date must be verifiable through supporting documentation.

If a student with a disability is receiving pre-employment transition services only and has not submitted an application for VR services this data element should be left blank and, as stated above, the Start Date of Pre-Employment Transition Services (X.A) is reported. However, if the individual has submitted an application to receive VR services other than pre-employment transition services, this data element is required.

Date of Birth

Report: Either at Application or Start Date of Pre-Employment Transition Services whichever comes first

Data Type: DATETIME (YYYYMMDD) Change: Revised

Element Number: 8 Multiple Values Allowed: No

Data entry is also required for an individual who is solely receiving pre-employment transition services.
WIOA PIRL data element number 200, Date of Birth.

Record the individual’s date (year, month, and day) of birth.

Individual Characteristics

Report: At Application

Data Type: INT 1 Change: Revised

Element Number: 9 Multiple Values Allowed: No

WIOA PIRL data element number 201, Sex.

Record the applicant’s sex.

Code	Description
1	Individual indicates that he is male.
2	Individual indicates that she is female.
9	Individual did not self-identify their sex.

Race Reporting (IV.C.2-IV.C.6) General Information:

Race information should be recorded for all individuals whose service records were opened in the quarter being reported. For students or youth with disabilities in elementary or secondary education, reporting on race is required. If such students or youth refuses to identify his/her race, the counselor should, at a minimum, notify the individual that if he/she fails to self-identify, an observer-identification method will be used. The counselor or interviewer would then provide the best assessment of the individual's race. This guidance is consistent with the Department of Education's and the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB's) standards for collecting race data.

For individuals not in elementary or secondary education, self-identification is required to the greatest extent possible. It is generally expected that the information recorded will reflect the individual’s own identification of race from the categories provided. Observer identification is not required for individuals with disabilities who are not in elementary or secondary education.

When reporting on multi-racial individuals, use more than one race variable indicating the individual is of that race (i.e., more than one code value 1). If the individual is not in elementary or secondary education and refuses to self-identify, record code value 9 to indicate the individual did not self-identify.

Agencies may leave the data element blank only for individuals with Type of Exit (XVII.B) code value 0 (Individual exited as an applicant, prior to eligibility determination or trial work). For example, if an individual applies for services via an application form or letter and exits the agency without being seen by agency personnel, this individual's race would not be known and could not be observed and therefore all race codes would be left blank.

Ethnicity - Hispanic or Latino

Report: Either at Application or Start Date of Pre-Employment Transition Services whichever comes first.

Data Type: INT 1 Change: Revised

Element Number: 15 Multiple Values Allowed: No

Data entry is required if individual is in elementary or secondary education.
WIOA PIRL data element number 210, Ethnicity Hispanic/Latino.

This data element should be recorded for all individuals whose service records were opened in the quarter being reported. For students or youth with disabilities in secondary education, reporting on ethnicity is required.

If such student or youth refuses to identify his/her ethnicity, the counselor should, at a minimum, notify the individual that if he/she fails to self-identify, an observer-identification method will be used. The counselor or interviewer would then provide the best assessment of the individual's ethnicity. This guidance is consistent with the Department of Education’s and OMB’s standards for collecting ethnicity data.

If the elementary or secondary student or youth self-identifies as Hispanic or Latino, but refuses or is unable to identify one or more race categories in addition, code the student or youth as Hispanic or Latino for ethnicity and follow the observer-identification method as described above for the race categories.

For individuals not in secondary education, self-identification is required to the greatest extent possible. It is generally expected that the information recorded will reflect the individual’s own identification of ethnicity. Observer identification is not required for individuals with disabilities who are not in elementary or secondary education.

If the individual is not in secondary education and refused to self-identify, record 9 to indicate that the individual did not self-identify ethnicity. Individuals who identify as Hispanic (an individual of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race) may belong to any race group.

Primary Occupation at Employment Outcome

Data Type: VARCHAR 6 Change: New

Element Number: 349 Multiple Values Allowed: No

For an individual who is employed, enter the current Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code that best describes the individual’s occupation that is consistent with the employment goal on the individual's IPE. If the individual is not employed, leave blank.

For individuals with multiple jobs, this data element should be populated with the code for the occupation consistent with the employment goal on an individual's IPE and primary SOC codes from which the exiting individual derives the majority of their weekly earnings. The following procedures should be followed to determine which occupation code to use:

a. If the earnings amounts of the multiple jobs are reported at the time of entering the occupation code, enter the occupation consistent with the employment goal specified on the IPE that encompasses the majority of the earnings per week at closure.

b. If the earnings amounts of the various jobs are not reported at the time of entry, the occupation code should be populated with the code for the occupation consistent with the employment goal specified on the IPE that encompasses the majority of the hours worked per week at closure.

c. If neither hours nor wages per occupation are known, then individual self-reporting of the primary occupation consistent with the employment goal specified on the IPE should be used to determine the appropriate occupation code.

For the employment situations unique to the VR program, use the special codes indicated below.

Special Codes	Special Code Descriptions
599999	Homemaker (own home): Refers to men and women whose activity is keeping house for their families, or themselves if they live alone. Note: A VR agency may only continue services to individuals with uncompensated employment goals (e.g., homemaker and unpaid family workers) on their approved individualized plans for employment prior to the effective date of the final regulations until June 30, 2017, unless a longer period of time is required based on the needs of the individual with the disability.
799999	Unpaid Family Worker (own family): Use only if the type of unpaid family work cannot be classified according to any of the occupations. Note: A VR agency may only continue services to individuals with uncompensated employment goals (e.g., homemaker and unpaid family workers) on their approved individualized plans for employment prior to the effective date of the final regulations until June 30, 2017, unless a longer period of time is required based on the needs of the individual with the disability.
899999	Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility Clerk: Refers to persons employed as clerks, sales persons, or helpers in a vending facility operated under the Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility Program. Use this special code even though these occupations are classifiable under SOCs.

999999	Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility Operator: Refers to individuals employed as operators or managers of vending facilities operated under the Vending Facility Program.

Element Number: 350 Multiple Values Allowed: No

Record the date when the individual began the job coded in data element Primary Occupation at Employment (XVI.C).

Note: For individuals who were employed at the initial IPE, Employment Status (IX.C.1), this date may be prior to the Date of Application (IV.A).

Hourly Wage at Employment

Data Type: DECIMAL 5,2 Change: New

Element Number: 351 Multiple Values Allowed: No

Record the hourly wage including cents earned after achieving employment consistent with the employment goal on an individual’s IPE. If the individual is employed in more than one job that is consistent with the employment goal on the individual’s IPE, record the hourly wage for the primary source of income.

This data element captures cash earnings of the individual at the time employment was achieved as an hourly wage and includes all wages, salaries, tips, profits from self-employment and commissions received as income. These earnings are before payroll deductions of Federal, State and local income taxes and Social Security payroll tax are taken.

Wages for salespersons, consultants, self-employed individuals, and other similar occupations are based on the adjusted gross income. Adjusted gross income is gross income minus unreimbursed business expenses. Do not include estimates of payments in-kind, such as meals and lodging. Estimate profits of farmers, if necessary.

Where wages are based on commissions that are irregular (e.g., real estate, automobile sales, etc.), they should be calculated as an hourly wage average over a representative period of time such as one month or one quarter to obtain a meaningful figure. Commissions are generally not paid when earned, but rather are paid periodically, such as weekly, biweekly, or even monthly. To bring standardization to this data element, wages should be based on the actual receipt of the payment and not on amounts accruing until the next commission payout.

If the individual was unemployed and/or generated no earnings or did not achieve an employment outcome, record 0.
