The following breakdown provides data is the estimate number of individuals receiving services under an Individualized Plan for Employment:
Based on the trends for DORS for the last two years, DORS estimates that for Federal Fiscal Year 2020 23,000 individuals and for Federal Fiscal Year 2021 24,000 individuals would be eligible for VR services under Title I of the Rehabilitation Act. However, due to the closure of Categories 2 and 3 at this time DORS only expects to provide services to 14,175 individuals in Category 1, including Supported Employment and 499 individuals in Category 2 for those who were under a Plan prior to Category 2 closing for FY 2020. For FY 2021, DORS is estimating that it will serve 13,475 individuals in Category 1 including Supported Employment and 200 individuals in Category 2 whose Plan was signed prior to the closing of Category 2. DORS will not be serving any individuals in Category 3 as this category is closed for services since the 1990’s.
