APSE, the Association of People Supporting EmploymentFirst is pleased to provide comments on the proposed revisions to the information collection pertaining to special employment standards under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

In the view of APSE, changes in the information collection for Applications for Authority to Employ Workers with Disabilities at Special Minimum Wages must be fully reflective of not only the new requirements of Section 511 the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) to limit the use of subminimum wage, but also support the overall objective of WIOA and federal disability employment policy in general to increase competitive integrated employment (e.g., Olmstead enforcement actions by the U.S. Department of Justices, Center for Medicare and Medicaid actions).
