| Explanation of Performance:VR’s rehabilitation rate remains below the federal target, but has increased over the past two years, as has the overall number of customer employment outcomes. This is expected as VR continues to release customers from the Category 3 wait list. VR has multiple strategies and initiatives anticipated to improve the rehabilitation rate, overall agency performance, and customer outcomes. |
