Abstract: The Case Service Report (RSA-911) is used to collect
individual level data on State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program
participants on a quarterly basis. The
[[Page 50823]]
data collected in this report are mandated by section 101(a)(10) and
607 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Act) and section 116(d) of the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. In addition, the
Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) uses data reported through
this collection to support its other responsibilities under the Act.
Section 14(a) of the Act calls for the evaluation of programs
authorized under the Act, as well as an assessment of the programs'
effectiveness in relation to cost. Many of these evaluations use RSA-
911 data. RSA also uses data captured through the RSA-911 during the
conduct of both the annual review and periodic on-site monitoring of VR
agencies required by section 107 of the Act to examine the
effectiveness of program performance. Other important management
activities, such as the provision of technical assistance, program
planning, and budget preparation and development, are greatly enhanced
through the use of RSA-911 data. In addition, RSA uses RSA-911 data in
the exchange of data under a data sharing agreement with the Social
Security Administration and the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services as required by section 131 of the Act. Finally, the RSA-911 is
considered to be one of the most robust databases in describing the
demographics of the disabled population in the country and as such is
used widely in researchers' disability-related analyses and reports.
