Client assistance program (cap)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded $131,917 to the Executive Office of the State Governor's Commission On Disability on October 1, 2025, under the Rehabilitation Services Client Assistance Program (CFDA 84.161), a formula grant.

The Client Assistance Program provides advocacy and legal assistance services to eligible individuals and applicants for the Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants program and other programs funded under the Rehabilitation Act. Services include advising clients and applicants of available benefits and rights, individual and systemic advocacy, and pursuit of legal and administrative remedies to protect client rights. State VR agencies must operate a CAP to receive VR State grant funds and inform VR consumers about CAP services and contact information.

The Governor's Commission On Disability, a New Hampshire state government entity based in Concord, New Hampshire, administers the program at the state level. Performance runs through September 30, 2026. The recipient maintains all program administration and service delivery responsibilities internally with no documented sub-recipients. As a formula grant, the award is issued based on statutory allocation; unobligated funds may carry over for obligation in the following fiscal year.
