State vocational-rehab grants at $15.8 billion

USAspending.gov records $15,755,710,105.22 in obligations under CFDA 84.126. Three hundred fifty-one awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $44.9 million per award, in the same large-grant band as other state-administered human-services CFDAs. The assistance-listing title is REHABILITATION SERVICES VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION GRANTS TO STATES. CFDA 84.126 is the identifier.

Other rehabilitation or disability listings, if tagged under different CFDA numbers, are not included in the $15.8 billion. Mixing them would invent a combined rehab total this packet does not contain.

USAspending.gov records $15,755,710,105.22 in obligations for CFDA 84.126 across 351 awards, 74 recipients, and 56 states. A state vocational-rehabilitation annual report that cites a different federal-dollar figure may be using a different year, outlays, or a blend with other rehabilitation listings. This page stays on 84.126. The 351 awards are assistance records, not clients served.

Seventy-four recipients across 56 states

Seventy-four recipients share 351 awards, or about five award records per recipient on average. Splitting $15.8 billion evenly would assign about $213 million per recipient. State vocational-rehabilitation agencies are the usual organizational unit on a “grants to states” listing; some jurisdictions operate more than one agency, which can push recipient count above 50. The packet does not name the 74.

Fifty-six states in the geographic count is a wide coding in the USAspending state field, typically including the District of Columbia and territories. It does not publish employment outcomes by state. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Awards are not employment placements

Award count (351) is a count of assistance records, including modifications as stored. It is not the number of clients, Individualized Plans for Employment, or job placements. A state agency can serve many people under a handful of federal grant rows. Citing 351 as people helped would be a unit error.

The packet does not report rehabilitation rates, wages at exit, or waiting lists. Those performance series live in other reports. This page stays on dollars, awards, recipients, and states.

Obligations versus program draws

The $15.8 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against vocational-rehabilitation grants — are not in the packet. A state grant can be obligated for a fiscal period while services continue on a different calendar. Deobligations and matching adjustments both move the stock.
