Committee On Veterans Affairs

United States Senate

OF THE UNITED STATES


New Legislation And Stronger

Program Management Needed To

Improve Effectiveness Of VA's

Vocational Rehabilitation Program


VA's vocational rehabilitation program could be
more effective in restoring employability lost
due to service-connected disabilities. About half
of the potentially eligible veteran population
was missed by VA's outreach efforts, and some
veterans, particularly those with severe employ-
ment handicaps, did not receive the comprehen-
sive range of services necessary for successful
rehabilitation and gainful employment.

Several factors contributed to the program's
limited effectiveness. The most significant is
lack of strong central program management
and accountability for program results at the
central office level. This problem underlies
other problems GAO noted that limit program
success.


GAO makes recommendations to the Admin-
istrator of Veterans Affairs and the Congress to
modernize and strengthen the vocational reha-
bilitation program.
