Abstract: Nineteen states currently have Access to Telework
programs that provide financial loans to individuals with disabilities
for the purchase of computers and other equipment that support
teleworking for an employee or self-employment on a full or part-time
basis. These grantees are required to report annual data on their
programs to the Rehabilitation Services Administration. This
information collection provides a standard format for the submission of
those annual performance reports and a follow-up survey to be
administered to individuals who receive loans.
