Nebraska Match

Several years ago, Nebraska Vocational Rehabilitation (NVR) reached the point where 85 percent of state funding, of which approximately 60 percent was appropriated for the subsequent federal fiscal year, had to be utilized for match to close out the current federal fiscal year. This situation resulted from not receiving sufficient matching funds from the state legislature (or other allowable sources) for a period of several years, and continuing to drawdown and utilize the entire VR program allotment each year. To address this crisis, the NE legislature appropriated sufficient funds to eliminate this shortfall and fully match the VR program each year. The entire required match is made by June 30 of each year, thereby ensuring that sufficient match is available and that the agency has met the match, MOE and carryover requirements.
