The Social Security Administration
(SSA) refers certain disability beneficiaries to State Vocational
Rehabilitation Agencies. SSA may also arrange for VR services
through an alternate participant (public or private provider of VR
services other than a State VR agency) when a State VR agency is
unwilling or unable to serve an individual referred by SSA. The
State VR agencies and alternate participants make claims for
reimbursement of the costs incurred from providing VR services on
Form SSA-199.
