The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded $16,382,241 to the Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation on October 1, 2025, under the Rehabilitation Services Vocational Rehabilitation Grants to States program (CFDA 84.126), a Formula Grant that funds comprehensive state vocational rehabilitation services for individuals with disabilities.

The award period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Boise, Idaho. The Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, a state government entity operating as a child agency of the State of Idaho, uses the funding to operate vocational rehabilitation services including assessment, planning, and provision of rehabilitation services to eligible individuals with disabilities. The award obligates $16,382,241 in federal funds.

The program's statutory framework requires the state to maintain an approved VR services portion of the Unified or Combined State Plan, submit plan modifications every two years, and maintain financial and programmatic records for three years after final financial report submission. Grant funds flow through the Electronic Transfer System to state VR agencies meeting plan approval requirements.
