The Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act provides states, services providers, subminimum wage certificate holders, and other agencies with the resources they need to create competitive integrated employment service delivery models and the inclusive wraparound services that some individuals with disabilities will need.
H.R. 2373 is designed to strengthen and enhance the disability employment service delivery systems throughout the states while the subminimum wages that are currently allowed under Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act are phased out over a five-year period.
Now is the time to contact your Representatives and tell them to cosponsor and pass this vital bill. People with disabilities deserve the opportunity to pursue competitive wages in an integrated environment.
