- 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. N. ii. I. The Provision of Extended Services for a Period Not to Exceed 4 Years; and
Current Narrative:
WIOA requires that 50% of SE allotment be set aside for youth with the most significant disabilities. These funds have been identified and are being tracked. Training will be conducted for all DVRS counselors that will emphasize that the provision of extended services for youth with the most significant disabilities, under appropriate circumstances, can be provided up to four years. It is critical that this training identifies the non–delegable nature of this new provision in WIOA. DVRS will develop policy that will identify this new provision in WIOA and track youth who require extended services for a period not to exceed 4 years.
