State vocational rehabilitation services (VR)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency $118.9 million on October 1, 2025, under the Rehabilitation Services Vocational Rehabilitation Grants to States program (CFDA 84.126). The award funds comprehensive vocational rehabilitation services for individuals with disabilities across Georgia through September 30, 2026. Performance takes place in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency, a state government entity designated to administer the state's vocational rehabilitation program, delivers vocational assessments, career counseling, job training, workplace accommodations, assistive technology support, job placement assistance, and independent living skills development. The agency collaborates with community rehabilitation providers and nonprofit organizations to expand service delivery capacity statewide. The program supports employment and full community integration for people with disabilities and visual impairments throughout Georgia.

This is a formula grant awarded to the state under the Rehabilitation Services program, which requires state agencies to submit an approved vocational rehabilitation services portion of the Unified or Combined State Plan. Georgia's current four-year State Plan (Program Year 2024–2027) took effect July 1, 2024, and the state must submit a modification to that plan in spring 2026.
