[Rehab] Question about WIOA and Subminimum Wage Sheltered Workshops

[Dick Davis]

Justin,
If this question happens to involve the larger agency for which you work,
I recommend that you also ask your supervisor or manager.  They are NFB
members and might have the answers you seek.
Best wishes,
Dick Davis

RSA is pretty strict as to what qualifies for PETS expenses.  This one
feels problematic to me!
  and as Dan points out, it certainly isn't in the spirit of the law.
