Over the years, the state vocational rehabilitation agency has failed to create work-producing programs for individuals with serious mental illness. The author uses his 21 years of experience as a state commissioner of mental health in three states as a basis for describing this failure. Current trends, including proposed national legislation, that will drastically change the state vocational rehabilitation agency as we have known it are described and, consequently, a case for closure of the agency is proposed
