Mr. John McKeon:
I disagree because if one considers the pricing information which I provided, one will see that the 13-week sustainment fee is significantly lower than the sustainment fee for a 52-week outcome. There is a strong incentive, therefore, for the providers to try to sustain some of the employment for a full year. Part of the service they must provide is working with employers and the jobseeker while he or she is in employment to help him or her.
