Current Narrative:
LRS will use a milestone payment system to purchase services from Community Rehabilitation Programs (CRPs) to provide intensive ongoing supports including customized employment, to assist individuals with the most significant disabilities to maintain competitive integrated employment from job placement to job stabilization and transition to extended services.
Purchased supported employment services are identified and listed on the IPE and must be obtained through an approved Supported Employment CRP. Funding for extended services are provided by the CRP, or, sources other than LRS, except in the instance of a youth with a most significant disability when no other funding sources are available. In such instances, LRS will fund extended services for a period not to exceed four years (48 months) or until the youth reaches age 25, whichever comes first. IPE’S that include extended services for youth in supported employment services will be written for one year only and continued/amended annually until either services are no longer needed; another funding source is identified; services have been provided for 48 months or the youth reaches his or her 25th birthday.
