d. 2. Q. ii. The Timing of Transition to Extended Services.
Current Narrative:
The timing of the transition from employment to extended services begins when an individual reaches a point of stabilization on the job and for the next 90 days towards successful closure. After ARS closes the cases as successful (status 26), extended services is transitioned to the provider responsible for funding, which may include payment through the Department of Human Services Developmental Disabilities Services if the individual has a community employment services waiver plan.
ARS developed the Youth Extended Services (YES) policy for individuals under the age of 25. This policy allows ARS to pay for youth extended services if no other resources are available up to four years or age 25. Once the case is closed successful (status 26), this service is transitioned to the provider responsible for funding, which may include payment through the Department of Human Services Developmental Disabilities Services if the individual has a community employment services waiver plan.
