Current Narrative:
VR has made the decision to provide discretionary services to eligible individuals, regardless of order of selection, who require specific services or equipment to maintain employment. This is a new option created by WIOA. This has been discussed with the state rehabilitation council, and public input has been received. Since VR has elected to provide these services, the FFY 15–16 VR state plan will be amended accordingly.
