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 CFR 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.
