State Plan

Why does DVR do a State Plan?

The State Plan is required by the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), a major funding source to the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR). The State Plan is developed to shape the way we deliver vocational rehabilitation services to customers and to ensure DVR fully carries out the federal Rehabilitation Act.

The division will submit a 2013 State Plan Update to RSA no later than June 30, 2012. If you are interested in where we are going and would like to help guide our direction you may attend a Public Forum (pdf) to share your thoughts.

What is contained in the DVR State Plan?

The State Plan is made up of a series of documents that describe DVR’s goals, priorities, strategies and other activities that will be carried out.

The current DVR State Plan is being carried out over three years, 2010 – 2013, and must be updated every year. The division will submit a 2013 State Plan Update to RSA no later than June 30, 2012. The 2013 draft plan is available for review.

Below are the various components that make up DVR’s current 2012 State Plan. If you have any questions regarding the State Plan please contact Don Kay.
