Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
General
				  provisions.
DRS either must be able to provide the full range of
				  services listed in section 103 (a) of the Act and
				  34
				  CFR 361.48, as appropriate, to all eligible
				  individuals or, in the event that vocational rehabilitation services cannot be
				  provided to all eligible individuals in the State who apply for the services,
				  include in the vocational rehabilitation services portion of the Unified or
				  Combined State Plan the order to be followed in selecting eligible individuals
				  to be provided vocational rehabilitation services.
(1) The ability of the designated State unit
				  to provide the full range of vocational rehabilitation services to all eligible
				  individuals must be supported by a determination that satisfies the
				  requirements of paragraph (b) or (c) of this section and a determination that,
				  on the basis of the designated State unit's projected fiscal and personnel
				  resources and its assessment of the rehabilitation needs of individuals with
				  significant disabilities within the State, it can follow the guidance according
				  to
				  34
				  CFR 361.36(a).
(2) Prior to the start of each fiscal
				  quarter, or when circumstances require, the DRS Director will determine in
				  which priority groups new Individualized Plans for Employment will be written
				  and initiated. The Director may restrict the writing and initiation of new
				  Individualized Plans for Employment within a priority group to cases having
				  eligibility dates falling on or before a specified date providing that all
				  individual's in higher priority groups are being served. Considerations in
				  making this determination will include, but not be limited to, the projected
				  outcomes, service goals, expenditures, and resources available for each
				  priority group. Projected costs and resources for each priority group will be
				  based upon costs of current Individualized Plans for Employment, anticipated
				  referrals, availability of financial resources, and adequacy of staffing
				  levels. The Director will implement actions under the order of selection
				  through written notice to DVR and DSBVI staff.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Use of
				  Eligibility Status.
An active case is defined as one which has been
				  accepted as meeting the basic eligibility requirements. An applicant who has
				  been determined eligible for vocational rehabilitation will be placed in
				  Eligibility Status for completion of a comprehensive assessment to determine
				  employment goal and rehabilitation needs and for development of the
				  Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE). An individual who is placed in an
				  order of selection priority group that is not currently being served will be
				  placed on a waiting list and held there pending further directives from the
				  Director concerning opening or closing of priority groups.
(b)
Case recording requirements.
The counselor records activities during this period by individual entry or by
				  summary recording at regular intervals in case narratives. Copies of pertinent
				  case information will be shared with all DVR or DSBVI professionals involved in
				  the case. During eligibility status and throughout the life of the case, DSBVI
				  counselors and rehabilitation teachers will share pertinent information related
				  to a case they jointly serve. Pertinent case information will also be shared
				  with contracted vendors, when appropriate, with a release signed by the client.
				  If an IPE cannot be developed during this period, the client's case is closed
				  with a full explanation to the client and documentation as to the reason for
				  closing the case. This documentation will be completed on a closure letter and
				  a copy given to the client.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Rehabilitation needs.
DRS
				  will conduct an assessment for determining rehabilitation needs, if
				  appropriate, for each eligible individual or, if the agency is operating under
				  an order of selection, for each eligible individual to whom the agency is able
				  to provide vocational rehabilitation services. The purpose of this
				  comprehensive assessment is to assist the client in selecting an employment
				  goal and to determine the nature and scope of vocational rehabilitation
				  services to be included in the Individualized Plan for Employment
				  (IPE).
(b)
Comprehensive
				  assessment.
Existing information obtained from the assessment to
				  determine eligibility and priority group assignment, including information
				  supplied by the individual or the individual's authorized representative, is to
				  be used for the comprehensive assessment to the maximum extent possible.
				  Additional assessments may be obtained to the extent additional information is
				  necessary to determine the vocational rehabilitation needs of the individual
				  and to develop the IPE. Rehabilitation technology will be used in the
				  comprehensive assessment when necessary to assess and/or develop the capacities
				  of the individual to perform in a work environment.
(c)
Case recording requirements.
The results of the comprehensive assessment and the counselor's analysis of
				  them will be recorded in a case narrative. The narrative will contain
				  reasonable justification of the employment goal and services that will be
				  provided in the IPE, considering the unique strengths, resources, priorities,
				  concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests and informed choice of the
				  individual.
(d)
Comprehensive
				  assessment for supported employment.
(1) In supported employment cases, the record
				  must document the counselor's determination that the client is an individual:
(A) for whom competitive employment has not
				  traditionally occurred; or
(B) for
				  whom competitive employment has been interrupted or intermittent as a result of
				  a severe disability; and
(C) who,
				  because of the nature and severity of the disability, needs intensive supported
				  employment services, and extended services after the transition from intensive
				  supported employment services, in order to perform such work.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
The Use
				  of Job Ready Status:
Job Ready Status is used to identify individuals
				  who are qualified, willing and able to begin an active job search. Job Ready
				  Status can also be used for individuals pursing a variety of work experiences,
				  including internships, apprenticeships, or temporary jobs to supplement income
				  while attending school or receiving other vocational rehabilitation services.
				  Job Ready status can be used at any time during the life of the case, once an
				  Individual Plan for Employment (IPE) is in place.
(1) Job Ready Status should only be used
				  after consultation with the Participant to insure the person is aware they are
				  considered an active job seeker and may be contacted about employment or work
				  experiences in which they have expressed an interest. Also, Job Ready Status
				  should not be used for those who have been referred to an Employment Services
				  Provider for assistance with services such as Employment & Retention,
				  Customized Employment Supported Employment, etc.
(2) Those individuals who are in job ready
				  status but are no longer participating in a job or work experience search
				  should be removed from Job Ready Status. Individuals who have located a job or
				  work experience and are not currently pursuing another position should also be
				  removed.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Use of
				  Employment status.
A case is placed in this status when the client
				  begins employment. The client must be followed in employment for a minimum of
				  90 days prior to being closed to ensure the adequacy of the employment in
				  relation to the needs and limitations of the client.
(b)
Supported employment.
Cases
				  are placed into employment status after the requirements have been met for
				  completion of the "Stabilization" Milestone, and the client is ready to begin
				  the final milestone, "Successful Rehabilitation". During this milestone, the
				  provider must continue ongoing supports for a minimum of 90 days before the
				  case can be closed.
(c)
Employment and Retention.
Cases are placed into employment status
				  when the individual has completed the fifth day of work ("Job Placement"
				  Milestone), or after completion of "Four Weeks Job Support" Milestone if short
				  term job coach training or support is needed. The client must be followed in
				  employment for a minimum of 90 days prior to being closed.
(d)
Case recording requirements.
After the client has entered employment, it is the client's responsibility to
				  provide the counselor with the job title of employment and salary information.
				  When an individual is placed in employed status, case recording will document:
(1) Beginning date of employment;
(2) Name and address of the employer;
(3) Job title which describes the
				  position held by the individual;
(4) Client's hourly wages and hours worked
				  per week to determine weekly earnings;
(5) Suitability of the employment; and
(6) How the job was obtained. If
				  the information is obtained from a source other than the client, the source of
				  the information will be identified.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
				  Circumstances may arise that prevent a client from participating in the
				  established IPE. These circumstances may therefore require a temporary
				  interruption of services. A case is placed in Service-I when the client is
				  unable to participate in the IPE because of circumstances beyond their control
				  or the participant has not fulfilled requirements identified by the VR agency.
				  Service-I may be used when planned services will be interrupted and there is an
				  assumption that services may resume within a reasonable period of time. Cases
				  should not remain in interrupted status for more than 9 months.
(b) The Rehabilitation Counselor will perform
				  the following actions to a case placed in Service-I status:
(1) Contact client at least every 30 days to
				  determine status of interruption.
(2) Review circumstances periodically with
				  Supervisor to determine whether the record of services should remain open or be
				  closed, as appropriate to the individual case.
(3) Change status when appropriate.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Use of Closed Rehabilitated status.
A case is closed as rehabilitated because the client has achieved an employment outcome as a result of vocational rehabilitation services. Cases closed as rehabilitated must as a minimum meet the requirements in (1) through (5) of this Subsection:
(1) the provision of services under the individual's IPE has contributed to the achievement of the employment outcome;
(2) the employment outcome is consistent with the individual's strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed choice;
(3) the employment outcome is in an integrated setting, consistent with the individual's informed choice;
(4) the individual has maintained the employment outcome for a period of at least 90 days; and
(5) at the end of the appropriate period under Paragraph (4) of this Section, the individual and the VR Counselor consider the employment outcome to be satisfactory and agree that the individual is performing well on the job.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Use of Post-Employment services.
Post-employment services may be provided to assist employed clients to maintain, retain, regain, or advance in employment, consistent with the individual's strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests and informed choice.
(1) The need for post-employment services will be assessed at initiation of the IPE. Ongoing assessment continues during case services, is documented as needed, and is reassessed just prior to case closure.
(2) Post-employment services may also be provided for needs that were not anticipated in the original IPE or prior to case closure. Post-employment services can be provided to individuals who receive Supported Employment Services if such services are needed to maintain the supported employment placement and those services are not available from an extended services provider, and those services are provided prior to case closure.
(3) Post-employment services are not to be used in instances of underemployment when extensive retraining is needed.
(4) Post-employment services are to be provided under an amended individualized plan for employment; thus, a re-determination of eligibility is not required. Any vocational rehabilitation service or combination of services necessary to assist the individual to maintain, retain, regain, or advance in employment may be provided if the service(s) does not involve a complex or comprehensive effort.
(5) Federal regulations forbid the setting of arbitrary time limits on the provision of post-employment services. If the client has been employed for a long period of time, the counselor must carefully review the client's situation before making the decision to provide post-employment services as opposed to opening a new case.

(b)
Case recording requirements.
Closure from post-employment services is documented in the case record and in a closure letter given to the client.
