If a scholar engages in employment for a State agency or related rehabilitation agency while in training, will that count toward payback?
Rehabilitation employment while in training for which the scholarship was awarded does not meet the work requirement. Regulations state that the scholar will maintain employment in a qualifying agency “beginning after the recipient completes the training for which the scholarship was awarded.” (emphasis supplied) P4 CFR 386.34]. 2 RSA‑PPD‑88‑8 is a citation for RSA Program Policy Directive number 8 in FY 1988. The Program Policy Directive provides additional information on the application of the payback provision to residency programs. Contact the residency‑training advisor or the appropriate RSA regional office (see attached listing) for further information on this PPD or ways that an RSA scholar may satisfy the payback provision when he/she is a practicing rehabilitation physician.
