Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) Rehabilitation Long-Term Training (RLTT) Program Payback Information Management System (PIMS)

P.L. 114-95, section 302 (b) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) provides Long-Term Training grants to academic institutions to support scholarship assistance to students. Students who receive scholarships under this program are required to work within the public rehabilitation program, such as with a state vocational rehabilitation agency, or an agency or organization that has a service arrangement with a state vocational rehabilitation agency. The student is expected to work two years in such settings for every year of full-time scholarship support. The program regulations at 34 CFR 386.33-386.35 and 386.40-386.43 detail the payback provisions and the RSA scholars' requirements to comply with them. Section 302 (b)(2)(C) of the Act requires tracking of scholars’ employment status and location of former scholars supported under the grants in order to ensure that students are meeting the payback requirement. Scholars must provide requested information necessary to meet the exit certification requirements. In addition to meeting the requirement that all scholars be tracked, the information collected will provide performance data relevant to the rehabilitation fields and degrees pursued by RSA scholars, as well as the funds owed and the rehabilitation work completed by them. In summary, RSA is requesting a revision of the currently approved collection by adding a section titled State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Agency: RSA Job Board Posting, where RSA envisions State VR agencies may initiate posting of an open position on the RSA Job Board on a rolling basis as positions become available. This addition to the current collection will be a helpful resource to students who receive RSA support, graduate, and seek qualifying employment to fulfill their required service obligation. This collection package adds the participation of State VR agencies to the existing approved ICR. Job leads will be submitted electronically through the online RSA Payback Information Management System (PIMS). There is minimal estimated burden required to report job information using the PIMS system.
