Subminimum Wage to Competitive Integrated Employment (SWTCIE) Model Demonstration Project – NYAIL

This posting reflects an approved exemption request (Single Source CRER). NYAIL and its member Independent Living Centers are providing employment services under ACCES‑VR’s federally funded SWTCIE Model Demonstration Project. Services include benefits advisement, work readiness, career exploration, self‑advocacy, and customized employment. Customized employment is highly staff‑intensive, requiring additional resources to meet project outcomes. This amendment shifts unspent funds to outyears of the contract to support increased staffing. NYAIL is uniquely positioned to oversee the work of local ILCs across six project regions, leveraging its statewide network and experience as a proven Part B vendor. No subcontracting, joint venture, or co‑production arrangements are anticipated.
