Supported employment services are provided by DVR as ongoing support services, including customized employment, and other appropriate services needed to support and maintain an individual with a most significant disability in Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE), including a youth with a most significant disability. Employment must be consistent with the individual’s strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed choice. Supported employment services rates apply to an individual that meets policy criteria to have a Supported Employment IPE.
Individuals may receive supported employment services for up to 24 months, which may be extended under special circumstances (see the DVR Service Delivery Policy Manual, 14.3.2).
NOTE: Any JPSP working with multiple DVR individuals must report and invoice the time spent with each individual accurately to the quarter-hour. Generally, vendors providing job search and placement services who hire an individual at their own business are not eligible to receive the placement fee, an employment stipend, or OJT wage reimbursement. In cases where a position within a company or organization providing job search and placement services is competitive integrated employment that requires job search and placement services to secure, the vendor shall discuss the potential employment with the rehabilitation counselor (prior to invoicing) to determine the scope of services provided and whether the placement fee, employment stipend, or OJT wage reimbursement is appropriate.
