Title: Revising Aspects of SSA's Vocational Rehabilitation Program (929A) 
Abstract: We propose to amend our regulations to remove obsolete provisions in 20 CFR 404.2101 to 20 CFR 404.2121 and 20 CFR 416.2201 to 20 CFR 416.2227 relating to the referral of disabled or blind beneficiaries for vocational rehabilitation (VR) services. We also are proposing to revise the regulations for our VR Cost Reimbursement Program to better integrate some aspects of these rules with those of the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program. The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (Ticket Improvement Act) eliminated the provisions of the Social Security Act that stated that beneficiaries receiving disability or blindness benefits be referred to State VR agencies for appropriate services. The Ticket Improvement Act also provides these beneficiaries with expanded options for access to employment, VR, and other support services.
