Measure Results

Year	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4	Explanatory Note
2008	2,883	2,560	2,148	2,275	The importance of this calculation rests with the fact that individuals who are employed with earnings at or above SGA are more likely to be able to reduce or eliminate the need for other public support such as SSDI or SSI. Although the time and resources spent on these individuals may be greater, the return on investment is much greater and these customers have a better chance of becoming independent and self supporting members of society. The target was increased from $2,645 to $3,500 for state fiscal year 2010 as being a more realistic target given the increasing costs of providing extensive services to a population of most significantly disabled individuals.
