Stimulus 4 will originate in the House of Representatives and is not expected to be as large as Stimulus 3; however, our input has been requested. With that in mind, we will be reaching out to House staff to ask if we can address the issues raised in the March 30, CSAVR letter to Secretary DeVos asking for waivers of rules and federal regulations governing the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as Amended. As we learned in our RSA Stakeholder teleconference on March 26<sup>th</sup>, a number of things we requested in our letter are not within the Department’s purview, but would require statutory changes. </span></p><p class="ox-901fd18bb1-MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="ox-901fd18bb1-MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; background: yellow;">Considering the requests made in our letter to Secretary DeVos as our starting point, are there other things you would like us to advocate for in Stimulus 4 that would greatly benefit and facilitate the delivery of VR services during the Pandemic?</span></strong></p><p class="ox-901fd18bb1-MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="ox-901fd18bb1-MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Please send any requests not already covered in the DeVos letter to me and <a href="mailto:rmartin@csavr.org">rmartin@csavr.org</a> by 12:00 noon, EST, on Friday, April 3.
