Abstract: The Social Security Administration (SSA) refers certain disability beneficiaries to State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Agencies. The State VR agencies use the SSA-199 to make claims for reimbursement of the costs incurred from providing VR services for the beneficiaries. The information collected on the SSA-199 is used by SSA to determine whether or not, and how much, to pay the State VR Agencies under SSA's VR program. Respondents are State VR Agencies who offer Vocational and Employment services for SSA beneficiaries.
