- Program-Specific Requirements for Vocational Rehabilitation
The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services Portion of the Unified or Combined State Plan* must include the following descriptions and estimates, as required by section 101(a) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by WIOA:
__________
* Sec. 102(b)(D)(iii) of WIOA
d. 2. M. ii. If the Designated State Unit Has Elected to Serve Eligible Individuals, Regardless of Any Established Order of Selection, Who Require Specific Services or Equipment to Maintain Employment.
Current Narrative:
BRS does not have sufficient resources to serve eligible individuals who are SD or NSD who require specific services or equipment to maintain employment, with the exception of providing specific services or equipment for individuals in post-employment services. Post-employment services are limited to individuals who had previously achieved a successful employment outcome and require additional services to maintain, re-enter, or advance in employment and are of limited scope and duration. BRS will be sharing relevant resources with individuals unable to be served by VR who are in need of assistance to obtain or maintain employment, such as facilitating a referral to the local Work One. Other resources may include Ticket to Work Employment Networks, Centers for Independent Living, College and Universities, the IN Data Assistive Technology program, and other state and local resources.
