Explanation of Performance:
VR continues to experience a rehabilitation rate below target. This is due to a focused effort to identify and close inactive cases, after diligent efforts to locate and/or reengage customers. Although these efforts temporarily caused the rehabilitation rate to drop, VR is beginning to see the anticipated shift in the ratio of successful to unsuccessful closures. This will result in an increased number and percentage of employment outcomes, previously measured by Federal Performance Indicators 1.1 and 1.2.
