Access to Telework Fund

The Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services proposes a priority and application and project requirements for an Access to Telework Fund (ATF). The Assistant Secretary may use this priority and the requirements for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2002 and later years. We take this action to expand employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities by providing greater access to computers and other equipment that will allow them to work from home if they choose. Grants would be made to States, including the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Indian tribal governments to enable them to provide loans to individuals with disabilities to purchase computers and other equipment for this purpose.
