The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services Portion of the Unified or Combined State Plan* must include the following descriptions and estimates, as required by section 101(a) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by WIOA:
__________
* Sec. 102(b)(D)(iii) of WIOA
d. 2. P. i. II. Describe the Factors That Impeded the Achievement of the Goals and Priorities.
Current Narrative:
DVR exceeded the RSA standards as indicated in the WIA legislation for six of the seven measures and, accordingly met the overall RSA requirements; however, due to the high average wage of workers in Delaware, DVR did not meet Standard 1.5. Delaware, along with many other states in the region and northeastern United States, has not met Standard 1.5 in many years. Although there was a significant increase in the average hourly wage of Transition clients, there was a decrease in the average hourly wage of adult and supported employment outcomes. DVR has not yet instituted the Common Measures as outlined in WIOA and will be implementing them once they are fully defined in the pending regulations.
