  1. Use of Extended Employment Services by VR Consumers Dr. David Dean, University of Richmond Presentation to the Employment Services Organizations Advisory Committee Richmond, Virginia, February 8, 2011

  2. Background • Earlier analysis of supported employment (SE) focused on VR applicant cohort in SFY 2000 • Reported on use of supported employment and job coach training services (JCTS) by VR consumers who applied in 2000 • Examined VR service costs and employment outcomes (both pre- and post-closure) for those who received SE &/or JCTS

  3. Background (cont.) • Recently accessed DRS data on Extended Employment Services (EES) and Long-Term Employment Support Services (LTESS) for the SFY 2000 applicant cohort • Currently examining just LTESS/EES data, before combining with VR services data for “big-picture” return-on-investment study

  4. Current Analysis • Includes VR applicants in SFY 2000 who subsequently received EES/LTESS for the first time through April 2010 • Participants could receive long-term follow-along (LTESS) and/or extended employment services (EES) • 596 individuals received only follow-along, 207 received only EES, 37 received both at some point through April 2010

  5. Who Gets LTESS/EES?

  6. VR Service Costs and Closure Status

  7. EES/LTESS participants who applied for VR in SFY 2000

  8. Annual EES/LTESS Participation Rates, as reported by ESOs

  9. Average Annual EES/LTESS Service Costs vs. Average Annual Earnings

  10. Average Hourly Wages and Service Costs for LTESS Participants

  11. Average Hourly Wages and Service Costs for EES

  12. Calculating Benefit-Cost Ratios for EES/LTESS (SFY 2000 Applicants)

  13. Next Steps in Refining ROI Framework • More comprehensive look at service costs: • VR service costs for ALL episodes of VR services (both in-house and purchased), • EES/LTESS service costs, and • “Similar benefits” provided by others • Additional data on employment outcomes • Examining subgroups of recipients with specific types of impairments • Will get input from ESOAC as work progresses
