The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as
amended, authorizes the commissioner to re-allot to other grant
recipients that portion of a recipient's annual grant that cannot
be used. To maximize the use of appropriated funds under the
formula grant programs, the Office of Special Education and
Rehabilitative Services has established a re-allotment process for
the Basic Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants; Supported
Employment State Grants; Independent Living State Grants, Part B
(IL-Part B); Independent Living Services for Older Individuals Who
Are Blind (IL-OB); Client Assistance (CAP) and Protection and
Advocacy of Individual Rights (PAIR) Programs. The authority for
the Rehabilitation Services Administration to reallot formula grant
funds is found at sections 110(b)(2) (VR), 622(b) (SE), 711(c)
(IL-Part B), 752(j)(4) (IL-OB), 112(e)(2) (CAP), and 509(e) (PAIR)
of the Act. The information will continue to be used by the
Rehabilitation Services Administration State Monitoring and Program
Improvement Division to reallot formula grant funds for the awards
mentioned above. For each grant award, the grantee will be required
to enter the amount of funds being relinquished and/or any
additional funds being requested.
There is an adjustment increase
of one annual hour and a decrease of -262 respondents.
