The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services Portion of the Unified or Combined State Plan [13] must include the following descriptions and estimates, as required by section 101(a) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by title IV of WIOA:
__________
[13] Sec. 102(b)(2)(D)(iii) of WIOA
n. 2. A. The provision of extended services for a period not to exceed 4 years; and
Current Narrative:
RSB provides Supported Employment Services to youth with the most significant disabilities for up to 24 months and will extend, if necessary. Extended Services do not exceed 4 years, or until such time that a youth reaches the age of 25 and no longer meets the definition of a Youth with a Disability under 34 CFR 361.5(C)(58), whichever occurs first.
Following the eligible individual’s job placement during which supported employment case service funds may be used to meet the cost of on-the-job skill training and support, the responsibility for providing ongoing support to the eligible individual is transferred to the local funding agency. These extended services are provided by one or more extended services providers such as the Department of Mental Health, Senate Bill 40 Boards authorized by sections 205.968- 205.972, RSMo, Community Rehabilitation Programs (CRPs), other public and private agencies, or any other appropriate resource including natural supports (relatives, employers), after an individual has made the transition from RSB support.
