The award funds supported employment services—collaborative programming between the state VR agency and public and private nonprofit organizations to help individuals with the most significant disabilities achieve employment outcomes. The Texas Workforce Commission administers the state's vocational rehabilitation program and uses this formula-based supplemental funding to serve VR consumers with the most significant disabilities in achieving supported employment placement and retention.

The period of performance runs October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Austin, Texas. The assistance type is a formula grant, allocated under the statutory funding formula to states with an approved supported employment supplement to their VR services plan.
