Current Narrative:
Through the Supported Employment program in FFY 2025, the estimated number of individuals who are eligible for services, the estimated number of eligible individuals who are expected to receive services, the estimated costs of services using Title VI funds, and the estimated number of individuals who will not receive services are listed below. These estimates are included in the total estimates in (f)(1)(A) above. MVR projects that the number of eligible individuals expected to receive services under the Supported Employment program is 6,745. This estimate is derived from the number of individuals who were authorized supported employment services and is based on a 5% increase from PY 2023.
| Priority Category (if applicable) | No. of Individuals Eligible for Services | No. of Eligible Individuals Expected to Receive Services under Supported Employment Program | Costs of Services using Title I and Title VI Funds | No. of Eligible Individuals Not Receiving Services (if applicable) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | 6,745 | 6,745 | $20,036,980 | n/a |
The estimated total costs of services using Title 1 and Title VI funds is $68,811,508.
All estimates are based on historical data and are impacted by the state’s budget reduction of MVR’s spending authority of federal funds for case services. The reduction in the spending authority was effective July 1, 2024. The reduction to spend available federal funds in a given state fiscal year impacts the estimates in Priority Categories II and III. The $15.5 million reduction requires MVR to implement an order of selection.
