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
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. The
current RSA-911 expires on 05/31/2024, which occurs during Program
Year 2023 (07/01/2023-06/30/2024). Because RSA must collect the
same performance data for the entirety of a Program Year, RSA must
begin Program Year 2024 with approval of this proposed revision in
place. Thus, RSA is proposing to extend with revisions the RSA-911
for three years. If this revision is approved, VR agencies will
collect and report data under this collection for Program Years
2024 through 2026. (07/01/2024-06/30/2027).

The change in burden imposed on
VR agencies is the result of a more accurate estimation of burden
in data collection and reporting.
