Current Narrative:
Extended services are provided after the provision of supported employment and when job coaching falls below 10 percent. MVR utilizes CRPs or identified long-term providers for the provision of extended services that continue after case closure. This includes but is not limited to, at minimum, two contacts with the consumer each month. Extended services may be provided to youth with most significant disabilities for a period not to exceed four years, or until the individual turns 25 and no longer meets the definition of a youth, whichever comes first. MVR utilizes CRPs or identified long-term providers for the provision of extended services for youth with most significant disabilities that continue after case closure to support the consumer’s needs.
Once a supported employment case is closed, MVR no longer funds extended services. The CRP or other identified provider is responsible for securing long-term funding.
