    Abstract: The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (the Act), 
authorizes the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) 
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 reallotment process for the State Vocational 
Rehabilitation Services (VR); State Supported Employment Services 
(Supported Employment); Independent Living Services for Older 
Individuals Who Are Blind (OIB); Client Assistance Program (CAP); and 
Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights (PAIR) programs. The 
authority for RSA to reallot formula grant funds is found at sections 
110(b)(2) (VR), 622(b) (Supported Employment), 752(i)(4) (OIB), 
112(e)(2) (CAP), and 509(e) (PAIR) of the Act.
    The information will be used by the RSA State Monitoring and 
Program Improvement Division (SMPID) to reallot formula grant funds for 
the awards mentioned above.
