Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) Update: Dave Matheis provided an update on Part B contract. CAL has spent $44,400 of $60,000, DRI $49,000 of $65,000, IP Central KY $79,000 out of $90,000, and IP Eastern Kentucky $50,000 of $60,000. Annual monitoring visits have been scheduled. Dave anticipates that if the reconciliation of the forward funding occurs when the independent living program moves to DAIL, IP and DRI may have issues meeting their obligations. Dave said the SGA research project that started on May 1st is meeting its targets to date. Individuals who receive SSDI only receive expedited services from a team consisting of the vocational rehabilitation counselor, a benefits specialist and a job placement staff member.
