- q. Quality, Scope, and Extent of Supported Employment Services
q. 2. The timing of transition to extended services
Current Narrative:
Ongoing services are furnished by the VR agency, using funds under the Supported Employment program and/or the VR program, from the time of job placement until the transition to extended services, and thereafter by one or more extended services providers. The VR agency may serve as the extended services provider to a youth with a most significant disability until the youth reaches age 25 or has received a maximum of 4 years of extended services, whichever occurs first.
In addition, funds allotted under the Supported Employment program or the VR program may be used to provide extended services to youth with the most significant disabilities as authorized under section 604(b)(2) of the Act. However, extended services may not be provided by the VR agency using funds allotted under either the Supported Employment program or the VR program to an individual who is not a youth with a disability. DSB provides extended services to youth with the most significant disabilities for a period of time not to exceed four years, or until a youth reaches the age of 25 and is no longer considered a “youth with a disability,” whichever occurs first.
