In December, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation made a waitlist for services because they did not have enough money to cover the costs of providing services. Disability advocates have asked the Department of Workforce Development and the Joint Finance Committee to approve a funding request to fully fund DVR services and draw down a federal match to cover the costs.

However, this funding has not been granted, and the waitlist continues to grow. This means that people with disabilities have waited up to a year on the waitlist before they can get services from the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation.
