Will an RSA scholar be able to fulfill the payback employment requirement if the private, for‑profit, business for which he/she works provides services to State agency rehabilitation clients?
A for‑profit organization may qualify as a professional corporation or professional practice group provided it meets the applicable definition in the Federal regulations. Professional corporations and practice groups are not limited to non‑profit status organizations. If questions arise as to whether a particular organization qualifies to meet an RSA scholar’s work requirement, the grantee or scholar should write a letter to the appropriate RSA regional office representative (listed at the back of this manual) to request an official reply to the question of whether the organization is qualified.
