Welcome and Introductions Marcus Williams, SRC Vice-Chair, welcomed meeting attendees. SRC members, DOR staff and members of the public introduced themselves.2. Public Comment Lesley Ann Gibbons provided the following public comment: Stakeholders and advisory boards have been hearing about the concern of a potential $10 million gap in funding for 2020.In an attempt to mitigate some of this shortfall we have learned that the Department will implement a new financial participation policy that will require many individuals to contribute or pay for their higher education.However, at the same time, the department made the decision to create 15 new Regional director positions.I believe that even if a position can be funded within existing means, creating, amending, or dissolving positions within the department does have an impact on services that are being provided.For example, funding a new regional director position might eliminate two other lower pay grade positions. Positions that are critical to support the work of counselors who we hear from time and time again are managing huge caseloads.I would like to suggest that the SRC ask that the Department not make any decisions with regards the creation, amendment, or removal of any positions unless input is sought from advisory boards, stakeholders, and other parties. Additionally, in light of the budgetary constraints a needs assessment should be completed to ensure that the proposed new roles and responsibilities are in the best interests of job seekers and students and cannot already be provided by others.Danny Marquez provided a public comment regarding the Memorandum of Understanding between DOR and the Department of Health Care Services focused on services to individuals with severe mental illness.3.

Financial Participation: Policy ProposalReference for Agenda Item #5Joint Public Forum Co-hosted by the department of Rehabilitation (DOR) and Statutory Advisory Bodies – May 21, 2019IntroductionThe passage of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) resulted in many new and modified requirements for the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program. One of the most significant new changes is that the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) now utilizes at least 15 percent of VR funds for pre-employment transition services (also referred to as DOR Student Services). In addition, other funding considerations include: Relying upon volunteered support from cooperative agreements with education and mental health agencies;The fluctuation of re-allotment funds available each year; and, The fluctuation of Social Security reimbursement funding. DOR’s consumer population has shifted from the majority of consumers receiving Social Security benefits, to now 30% of consumers receiving benefits. As a result of these factors, a potential challenge is that DOR may not have sufficient funds to provide VR services to all individuals who apply. In response, DOR has (and continues to) proactively analyze program policy and performance data, organizational structure and expenditures, and capacity building opportunities. Throughout 2018, DOR has communicated and partnered with the SRC to identify VR services that will result in employment outcomes through more efficient and less costly practices. To continue this collaboration, during the February 2019 SRC quarterly meeting, DOR did seek the SRC’s input on a proposed policy change regarding financial participation by DOR consumers. This proposed policy change shows promise to significantly increase DOR’s recovery of funds, modify requirements in a way that’s more equitable to consumers and their families, and lower administrative burden for DOR staff.BackgroundWhat is financial participation?Before DOR can authorize services and/or goods for a consumer, the consumer’s financial status must be reviewed, and financial participation determined. Financial participation can strengthen a consumer’s personal investment in their VR plan and employment goal.Who is exempt from financial participation?Consumers receiving SSI/SSDI or other public benefits are considered personally exempt and are therefore waived from financial participation requirements.What goods and services are exempt from financial participation? Federal regulations exempt certain goods and services from financial participation. Exempt goods and services, per federal regulations:Assessment for determining eligibility and priority for servicesAssessment for determining VR needsVR counseling and guidanceReferral and other servicesJob-related servicesPersonal assistant servicesAuxiliary aids and servicesIn addition, California also exempts the following goods and services:? Training, tutoring, books and other training materialsTransportation cost beyond the most economic public transportationTools necessary for the performance of an occupationWhat are “training services”?Community collegeFour-year college/universityGraduate and professional degree programsBusiness and vocational training programsPolicy Change ProposalThe DOR consumer financial participation policy is outdated and needs to be revised in three core areas:Means TestThe current means is harsh on low income families. It is complex, requires ad-hoc financial assessments with no verification of financial information.Exemption of Training ServicesThe DOR exempts financial participation for training services which is not required by Federal regulations. Demographic changes have shifted non-exempt participants from less than 30% in prior years to more than 60%. A higher percentage of participants can now afford to share in the cost of training.Application of Financial ParticipationState regulations allow financial participation for all non-exempt services. DOR’s existing methodology, due to its complexity and lack of verification, results in inconsistent and inequitable application.Proposed Policy ChangesMeans TestA revised means test that is more generous, as follows:An updated annual income threshold indexed at 300% of federal poverty guideline ($62K versus the current $37K threshold)Fixed annual co-pay model (Familiar and simple)Cost of living differential for high-cost metro areasOut of pocket caps for more than one consumer per familyHardship & Disaster Exemption – Death, Job loss, Disaster Zone, etc.Elimination of liquid assets in means test (Verification burden)Robust income verification with tax returns (instead of self-reporting) Reduced frequency of financial assessment (Annual vs. Monthly / Ad-Hoc)Exemption of Training ServicesThis proposal eliminates the exemption of training services from financial participation consistent with federal regulations.Application of Financial ParticipationThis proposal requires DOR to consistently enforce financial participation for all non-exempt services.ImpactThis policy change will affect only 6% of the DOR participants currently receiving training services. The estimated cost avoidance is approximately $2M/year. Limitations & RisksFamily cooperation for financial assessment; potential drop in consumers.Self-reported household income used in cost avoidance estimates.ConclusionThe proposed changes will simplify the process, lower administrative burden and make the DOR financial participation policy fair and equitable to consumers as compared to the current policy. Further, consistent application of financial participation will improve overall recovery.AppendixTable 1 - Summary of Proposed ChangesConsiderationsCurrentProposedIncome Threshold (Household size = 3)$37,000$62,340Liquid Asset Exemption$2,000EliminateCost Avoidance$10M If strictly applied$2MImpacted population30% of total receiving training services6% of total receiving training servicesSimplicityComplex, error proneMonthly/Ad-hoc assessmentsFixed co-pay rate for a year, easy to relateAnnual assessmentFairnessNegative for low income familiesUnintended loopholesFavors low income/large assetIncome verification +Admin.

The DOR looks forward to continued collaboration with the SRC to maximize the employment and independence for people with disabilities. SRC Recommendation 2019.1 - Client Assistance Program Materials The SRC recommends that all local DOR offices consistently and prominently display Client Assistance Program materials in the reception areas. The Client Assistance Program will provide these materials free of charge to DOR.DOR Response to SRC Recommendation 2019.1The Client Assistance Program is an excellent service available to support DOR consumers. The SRC Executive Officer will coordinate with CAP and DOR VR Employment Division representatives on next steps for distributing and displaying the materials. DOR encourages CAP to also provide materials in alternative formats. SRC Recommendation 2019.2 - Financial Participation In light of DOR’s funding challenges, the SRC appreciates the communication and partnership to identify cost mitigation strategies. As a result, the SRC supports DOR’s proposed conceptual changes to the financial participation policy. The SRC would like to continue discussions with DOR regarding resulting policy changes and impacts.Additionally, the SRC appreciates DOR’s thorough communication during the June 12 – 13, 2019 meeting (along with prior meetings) regarding funding changes and considerations, and that as a result, a potential challenge is that DOR may not have sufficient funds to provide VR services to all individuals who apply. The SRC would like to remind DOR of the following federal guidance: “There is no Federal requirement that the financial need of individuals be considered in the provision of vocational rehabilitation services” (34 CFR § 361.54) and encourages all DOR team members to keep this guidance in mind during discussions with consumers.July 22, 2019 Addendum: to provide clarify to the above statement, the SRC’s Executive Planning Committee offers the following addendum: DOR field staff should be reminded that an individual's case expenditures should not be discussed with consumers or be a consideration in the provision of goods and services.DOR Response to SRC Recommendation 2019.2 The SRC’s consideration, feedback and support of the proposed changes to DOR’s financial participation policy is greatly appreciated. DOR will keep the SRC involved as an active partner, particularly regarding policy changes that may impact consumers.Per federal and state regulations, DOR is required to provide information related to cost of services to assist an applicant or consumer with exercising informed choice. Additionally, the DOR is required to ensure that the Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) is developed and implemented in a manner that provides the individual with the opportunity to exercise informed choice in selecting services, service providers, and methods for procuring services. The information is not used to persuade or influence a consumer, but rather is provided as part of the informed choice and the IPE development process. Regulatory language details the purpose and utilization of communication regarding cost and expenditures. For the regulatory language, please refer to the following sections of the California Code of Regulations. DOR representatives are available to discuss and review this regulatory language with the SRC during a future meeting.§ 7029.6. Informed Choice§ 7130.

The following topics have been discussed: The CSS scope, methodology and goals.Brainstorming new strategies for gathering consumer feedback.The need for an expanded data analysis.Review of CSS data trends and findings.Report outs from the National Coalition of SRCs on how other states are conducting satisfaction surveys.Review of the CSS survey timeline.In August 2018, the SRC adopted the following recommendation: “The SRC recommends that the Comprehensive Statewide Assessment (2018 – 20) be used to gather information from consumers regarding effective methods to elicit feedback about their DOR experience. This information could be utilized by the SRC and the Department to develop the Consumer Satisfaction Survey.” The SRC understands this is a long-term research initiative and looks forward to partnering with the DOR Planning Unit on next steps. In the meantime, the SRC recognizes that many beneficial updates and improvements can be made to the existing CSS. During the June 12 – 13, 2019 SRC meeting, the Council was joined by representatives from the Blind Advisory Committee (BAC) and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Advisory Committee (DHHAC) to identify and summarize feedback for the 2020 CSS. The SRC recommends that the following updates, modifications and considerations be incorporated into the 2020 CSS: Survey name: Rename the CSS to increase understanding and relatability. Example: Voice of the DOR Community. Cover letter: In the survey cover letter, expand the following statement by describing the types of support that are available, such as ASL interpretation of the survey, Braille copies, etc.“Thank you in advance for participating in the enclosed survey. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Stanley Goodner…” Executive summary: Expand the data analysis in the CSS executive summary to include the following elements:Notable data trends, fluctuations and findings.Significant data increases and decreases.High and low satisfaction rates by District and disability.Programmatic interpretation of the data.When feasible, a multi-year analysis.Sample size: Standardize the sample size for each DOR District.Rating system: Update survey to utilize a seven-point rating system (example below). Demographics: Add demographic questions for the respondents.Age (Important now with the emphasis on DOR Student Services).City (This will help us determine if location was a barrier to services). Using a method identified by DORs researchers, modify the survey instrument so the survey results clearly indicate which consumers are receiving services through the Blind Field Services District. Question order: Reorder the survey questions so all questions pertaining to service providers are grouped together, and all questions pertaining to DOR services and counselors are grouped together.Question Specific FeedbackQuestion 3: “Overall, I am satisfied with the services directly provided by the DOR”. Expand this question to ask about satisfaction with the quality and timeliness of services, thereby aligning with the service provider satisfaction questions. Question 4: “I found the level of vocational guidance and quality of counseling received from my DOR adequate for my needs.”Correct grammatical error - change the word “my” to “the.” Question 9: “My counselor helped me understand my disability and how it may affect my work.”The role of the VR Counselor is to discuss job training and supports. Reframe this question so the focus is on “did your VR Counselor provide you with examples of employment success stories for individuals with similar types of disabilities.” Question 13: “My counselor and/or DOR team clearly explained all services available to me.”How would a consumer know if they had been informed about all available services? Reframe question so the focus is on “My counselor explained that other services (such as [list examples] were available.” Question 17: “My quality of life has improved because of DOR services.” Modify the question so it is more specific: What does “quality of life” mean? Question 22: “The services provided by DOR were instrumental in my becoming employed.” Move this question to immediately after the section break that reads “IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF DOR, PLEASE ANSWER THE STATEMENTS BELOW:”Add an option for consumers to specify (and comment on) if they obtained employment on their own, without the assistance of DOR.Question 23: “Check all the reasons below that prevented your ability to become employed” Add: “Not applicable, I’m currently a student” as an option. Add the following qualitative questions to the end of the survey: Can you tell us about your previous experiences with the DOR?For what purpose have you used the DOR services in the past? (maintaining employment, finding employment, advancing in your career, etc.)? Using language identified by DOR’s researchers, reword the survey questions in plain language to increase comprehension while retaining the original intention of the questions. Many DOR consumers do not differentiate between services received from providers and the Department. The SRC welcomes DOR’s recommendation(s) on how to clarify the survey questions accordingly.
