    Abstract: The data comprising the Case Service Report are mandated 
by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (the Act). Applicable 
portions of the Rehabilitation Act explicitly or implicitly require the 
recording and reporting of specific data elements by state VR agencies 
to the RSA. Section 13 of the Act requires the Commissioner to collect 
and report information specified in section 101(a)(10) to the Congress 
and the President in the Annual Report. Section 14 of the Act requires 
the Commissioner to conduct evaluations of the VR program. The 
information from this data collection is used in evaluating the 
outcomes of the program. Section 626 requires the same information to 
be reported for individuals who received supported employment (SE) 
services. RSA-911 data are also needed to satisfy the requirements of 
Section 131 calling for an exchange of data between RSA, the Social 
Security Administration and the Department of Labor.
