The Executive Office of The-State's Governor's Commission On Disability received a Formula Grant award of $131,917 from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, under the Rehabilitation Services Client Assistance Program (CFDA 84.161). This award supports the establishment and operation of a state-level Client Assistance Program that provides advocacy, counseling, and legal representation services to individuals with disabilities navigating the vocational rehabilitation system and other disability-related benefit programs.

The program delivers advisory and informational services to clients and client-applicants to help them understand their rights and benefits under the Rehabilitation Act, access appropriate rehabilitation services, and resolve disputes with service providers. The awardee is responsible for maintaining comprehensive case records and documentation of services provided, and must comply with applicable federal regulations governing state-administered programs, cost accounting, and audit requirements. As a formula grant, this award represents New Hampshire's annual allocation based on the statutory funding formula, with consistent annual renewal demonstrating the state's reliable program administration.
