Abstract: Section 107(a)(1) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act) requires the Commissioner of the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) to conduct annual reviews and periodic on-site monitoring of the vocational rehabilitation (VR) program to determine whether a state agency is complying substantially with the provisions of its State Plan under Section 101 of the Rehabilitation Act and with the evaluation standards and performance indicators established under section 106 of the Rehabilitation Act subject to the performance accountability provisions described in Section 116(b) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). To fulfill its monitoring responsibility, RSA reviews a maximum of 15 VR agencies in each Federal fiscal year. When, based on its monitoring, RSA determines that a state agency has not administered and operated the VR program in compliance with its State Plan, the Rehabilitation Act, and implementing regulations at 34 C.F.R. Part 361, the agency must develop a corrective action plan (CAP), established by RSA in accordance with the requirement of section 107(b)(2) of the Rehabilitation Act, for RSA approval within 45 days from the issuance of the final monitoring report.
