Workplace Choice and Flexibility for Individuals with Disabilities Act
This bill amends the Rehabilitation Act to clarify the definition of "competitive integrated employment" for people with disabilities. It explicitly includes social interactions with colleagues, customers, and others during work as part of this definition, while clarifying these interactions shouldn't be limited to just the immediate work unit. The bill also specifies that jobs paid through federal or state contracts (or subcontracting tiers) where priority was given for supporting disability employment count toward this definition. These changes ensure such jobs qualify as "competitive integrated employment" for policy purposes, directly affecting how employment outcomes are measured for individuals with disabilities under the Rehabilitation Act.
