>
>
>After many years of advocating for funding for
>the Public Vocational Rehabilitation Program
>here in Massachusetts, we have finally had
>success in getting new State dollars for the
>program based upon the economic impact of
>assisting people with disabilities to go to work
>and become tax paying citizens. The argument is

>study on the cost benefit of the VR Program by
>the Commonwealth Corporation and a demographic
>study of the employment status of people with
>disabilities in Massachusetts done by the
>Northeastern University Center for Labor Market
>Statistics. These two reports make the
>following points with regard to people with
>disabilities in and out of the work force:
>
>
>
> a.. Thirty percent of adults with
> disabilities are in the workforce vs. seventy
> percent of adults without disabilities.
> b.. For every $50 million dollars generated
> by earnings of graduates of VR, 500 jobs are
> generated in the community; over an above
> those, obtained by the graduates. On a
> national basis, graduates of VR earned in FY06
> in their first year of work over $3.5 billion
> thus generating over 35,000 jobs nation wide in that year.
> c.. The average annual earnings of graduates
> of VR are about $17,000 per year.
> d.. The average hourly wage is $11.00 per hour.
> e.. For every dollar spent on vocational
> rehabilitation, $5.00 is returned to the tax man.
> f.. For every dollar spent on vocational
> rehabilitation, $14.00 to $18.00 is returned to economy.
> g.. Every unemployed person with a disability
> costs the federal and state government $20,000
> in Mass. (17,000 nationally) per year, whereas
> the employed person with the disability cost essentially nothing.
>? In Massachusetts there are 70,000 jobs
>seeking trained, skilled and qualified employees:
>
> people with disabilities who are
> graduates of Public VR can fill these positions if we have
>
> the funds to prepare them for these opportunities.
>
>
>
>As a result of presenting this information to
>legislative leaders and the Governor's office,
>the Massachusetts Federal/State Vocational
>Rehabilitation Program was provided with
>supplemental funds to off-set the lack of
>Federal funds and to maintain the capacity of
>the VR Agency to put people with disabilities to
>work. There were two instances that are worthy of description.
>
>
>
>The first instance occurred in the spring of
>2006 when the Public VR Program was allocated in
>additional $.5 million as part of an economic
>stimulus package which was initiated in the
>House, supported by the Senate, and signed by
>the Governor in July of 2006. This is the first
>time that I have seen the VR Program be
>recognized as part of the economic growth of a
>State. These new funds were directed to the
>Public VR Program to augment available budgetary
>resources and became part of the match and MOE
>requirements of the annual budget for
>subsequence years. The State of Massachusetts
>is already significantly above matching
>requirementsand this merely increased the over match.
>
>
>
>The next instance where the economic growth and
>importance of the Public VR Program came in June
>of 2007 when the Governor's office submitted a
>supplemental budget request to the legislature
>for the year 2007 which included a request for
>$2.8 million to help maintain the capacity to
>serve of Public VR which was experiencing a
>waiting list period of over ten months under
>order of selection. In an effort to keep the VR
>Program producing new workers for the workforce,
>and reaping the benefit of creating new
>employees, the legislature approved this request
>and the Governor signed the supplemental budget in September of 2007.
>
>
>
>Both of these instances of seeking and getting
>new State monies for Vocational Rehabilitation
>are important messages to all of us who support
>the Public VR Program and its purpose of
>assisting people with disabilities to become
>part of the economic status of the States and
>indeed the Nation. If this can be done in
>Massachusetts, it certainly can be done in other
>States where economic growth is part of the
>State agenda. The simple point that $50 million
>in annual earnings by people with disabilities
>who have joined the workforce creates 500 jobs
>in the economy is key to this
>argument. Moreover, States are claiming that
>thousands of jobs are going unfilled at a time
>when there are hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities not working.
>
>
>
>As a fan of the Public Vocational Rehabilitation
>Program, I see that its major deficit is the
>lack of money, both State and Federal, to carry
>out the purpose of assisting the millions of
>people who could benefit from the Program and
>thus become part of the economic status of this Country.

>State Directors to provide you with another tool
>to make the case for this wonderful public vocational rehabilitation program.

> Economic Stimulus-One State Experience

>
>
>After many years of advocating for funding for
>the Public Vocational Rehabilitation Program
>here in Massachusetts, we have finally had
>success in getting new State dollars for the
>program based upon the economic impact of
>assisting people with disabilities to go to work
>and become tax paying citizens. The argument is
>based upon a series of points that come from a
>study on the cost benefit of the VR Program by
>the Commonwealth Corporation and a demographic
>study of the employment status of people with
>disabilities in Massachusetts done by the
>Northeastern University Center for Labor Market
>Statistics. These two reports make the
>following points with regard to people with
>disabilities in and out of the work force:
>
>
>
> a.. Thirty percent of adults with
> disabilities are in the workforce vs. seventy
> percent of adults without disabilities.
> b.. For every $50 million dollars generated
> by earnings of graduates of VR, 500 jobs are
> generated in the community; over an above
> those, obtained by the graduates. On a
> national basis, graduates of VR earned in FY06
> in their first year of work over $3.5 billion
> thus generating over 35,000 jobs nation wide in that year.
> c.. The average annual earnings of graduates
> of VR are about $17,000 per year.
> d.. The average hourly wage is $11.00 per hour.
> e.. For every dollar spent on vocational
> rehabilitation, $5.00 is returned to the tax man.
> f.. For every dollar spent on vocational
> rehabilitation, $14.00 to $18.00 is returned to economy.
> g.. Every unemployed person with a disability
> costs the federal and state government $20,000
> in Mass. (17,000 nationally) per year, whereas
> the employed person with the disability cost essentially nothing.
>? In Massachusetts there are 70,000 jobs
>seeking trained, skilled and qualified employees:
>
> people with disabilities who are
> graduates of Public VR can fill these positions if we have
>
> the funds to prepare them for these opportunities.
>
>
>
>As a result of presenting this information to
>legislative leaders and the Governor's office,
>the Massachusetts Federal/State Vocational
>Rehabilitation Program was provided with
>supplemental funds to off-set the lack of
>Federal funds and to maintain the capacity of
>the VR Agency to put people with disabilities to
>work. There were two instances that are worthy of description.
>
>
>
>The first instance occurred in the spring of
>2006 when the Public VR Program was allocated in
>additional $.5 million as part of an economic
>stimulus package which was initiated in the
>House, supported by the Senate, and signed by
>the Governor in July of 2006. This is the first
>time that I have seen the VR Program be
>recognized as part of the economic growth of a
>State. These new funds were directed to the
>Public VR Program to augment available budgetary
>resources and became part of the match and MOE
>requirements of the annual budget for
>subsequence years. The State of Massachusetts
>is already significantly above matching
>requirementsand this merely increased the over match.
>
>
>
>The next instance where the economic growth and
>importance of the Public VR Program came in June
>of 2007 when the Governor's office submitted a
>supplemental budget request to the legislature
>for the year 2007 which included a request for
>$2.8 million to help maintain the capacity to
>serve of Public VR which was experiencing a
>waiting list period of over ten months under
>order of selection. In an effort to keep the VR
>Program producing new workers for the workforce,
>and reaping the benefit of creating new
>employees, the legislature approved this request
>and the Governor signed the supplemental budget in September of 2007.
>
>
>
>Both of these instances of seeking and getting
>new State monies for Vocational Rehabilitation
>are important messages to all of us who support
>the Public VR Program and its purpose of
>assisting people with disabilities to become
>part of the economic status of the States and
>indeed the Nation. If this can be done in
>Massachusetts, it certainly can be done in other
>States where economic growth is part of the
>State agenda. The simple point that $50 million
>in annual earnings by people with disabilities
>who have joined the workforce creates 500 jobs
>in the economy is key to this
>argument. Moreover, States are claiming that
>thousands of jobs are going unfilled at a time
>when there are hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities not working.
>
>
>
>As a fan of the Public Vocational Rehabilitation
>Program, I see that its major deficit is the
>lack of money, both State and Federal, to carry
>out the purpose of assisting the millions of
>people who could benefit from the Program and
>thus become part of the economic status of this Country.

>State Directors to provide you with another tool
>to make the case for this wonderful public vocational rehabilitation program.
