m. 1. B. The justification for the order
Current Narrative:
From 2010 to 2018, MVR was able to keep the waiting list cleared for the most part. However, MVR continues to experience an increase in the cost of providing services to persons in all categories. The program is experiencing a rise in the costs associated with spending 15% of the federal grant on pre-employment transition services, carrying out Section 511 requirements, Missouri Job Center infrastructure funding agreements, and an increase in expenditures resulting from an increase in Missouri’s minimum wage. Due to the increase in cost of services MVR may not be able to provide services to all eligible individuals. MVR estimates that there will be 27,900 eligible individuals in FFY 2022 and 28,000 in FFY 2023 who will receive services.
