The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) has published updated Technical Specifications, Fee Schedule, and select initial implementation resources for the 2026-2028 cycle. These updates will take effect July 1, 2026.
The updated materials reflect DVR's biennial review process and were developed with input from DVR staff and Service Providers, including workgroups and surveys. Updates focused primarily on improving clarity, consistency, usability, accessibility, and alignment across services and reports/forms.
