SSA has created a new position, the
ESR, to provide employment support information and counseling to
SSA disability beneficiaries and community organizations. SSA will
test three models that vary by organizational placement and
assigned duties of the ESR. SSA will evaluate the models to
determine which model or feature(s) of the model(s) are most
effective through information we will collect from individuals and
organizations who made contact with, or received services from,
ESRs in each of the models during the pilot.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that

1320.8(b)(3).
