Annual Estimates of Individuals to be Served and Costs of Service:  Attachment 4.11(b)

VESID expects that during the Federal Fiscal Year 2008, fiscal and personnel resources will be sufficient to serve all eligible persons who apply for services.  This expectation is based on VESID’s projections of federal and State funding, referral levels, eligibility rates, service needs including persons with significant disabilities, and staffing plans.  In meeting this expectation, VESID affirms that it will:

• continue to provide a full range of services to all persons currently receiving services;
• provide assessment services to all persons expected to apply next fiscal year;
• serve all persons expected to be determined eligible next year; and
• meet all statutory program requirements.

VESID estimates that during FFY 2008, 28,300 individuals with disabilities will be found eligible for VESID services.  This number is based on activity trends from FFY 2002 through FFY 2006 and reflects a slight decrease when compared to previous years.  Based on historical data reported to the Rehabilitation Services Administration, VESID estimates that, under Title I, it will serve 90,100 individuals, at a total estimated cost of 218.5 million dollars.  VESID estimates that of the 90,100 individuals served, approximately 13,900 individuals will be receiving supported employment services.  All of these individuals receiving supported employment services will be served using a combination of Title VIB funds and State funds.
