The Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency is the state entity overseeing programs that provide job training, counseling, and placement services for individuals with disabilities. The award is part of ongoing federal funding under the state vocational rehabilitation services program administered by the Rehabilitation Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Education.

As a formula grant, the amount is determined by federal formula rather than a competitive application process, with funds distributed to states based on factors such as population and per capita income.
