    Abstract: The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (the Act), 
authorizes the Commissioner to reallot to other grant recipients that 
portion of a recipient's annual grant that cannot be used. To maximize 
the use of appropriated funds under the formula grant programs, RSA has 
established a re-allotment process for the Basic Vocational 
Rehabilitation State Grants (VR); Supported Employment State Grants 
(SEP); Independent Living State Grants, Part B (IL-Part B); Independent 
Living Services for Older Individuals Who Are Blind (IL/OB); Client 
Assistance (CAP); and Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights 
Programs (PAIR). The authority for RSA to reallot formula grant funds 
is found at sections 110(b)(2) (VR), 622(b) (SEP), 711(c) (IL-Part B), 
752(j)(4) (IL-OB), 112(e)(2) (CAP), and 509(e) (PAIR) of the Act. The 
information will continue to be used by the RSA State Monitoring and 
Program Improvement Division (SMPID) to reallot formula grant funds for 
the awards mentioned above.
