On January 17, 2023, RSA published the FFY 2023 Monitoring and Technical Assistance Guide (MTAG). The MTAG is also available at FFY 2023 VR Program Monitoring. RSA updated the MTAG in collaboration with six VR agency directors and leaders representing CSAVR and NCSAB. The MTAG is intended to serve as a resource and planning guide for VR agencies and RSA State Teams to assist in the preparation for and conduct of monitoring and technical assistance activities in both program and fiscal performance focus areas. The goal of monitoring and technical assistance is to support VR agencies in maximizing the use of VR program funds and fostering continuous improvement in competitive integrated employment outcomes achieved by individuals with disabilities, taking into account the unique circumstances and needs of each VR agency.
In FFY 2023, RSA will monitor the following 12 agencies through the conduct of on-site and off-site reviews: Arkansas-G, Florida-B, Georgia-C, Indiana-C, Louisiana-C, Nevada-C, North Carolina-G, Ohio-C, Oklahoma-C, Puerto Rico-C, Tennessee-C, and Texas-C.
