<\/p>\nAfter the meeting, your VR counselor may send you for additional evaluations or assessments, at no cost to you, if additional information is required. VR will use this information to determine your eligibility. Eligibility Determinations can take up to 60 days to make.<\/p>\n
Plan and Vendor Referrals <\/h4>\n
Once VR has determined that you are eligible for services, your team at VR will begin writing your Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE). This process can take up to 90 days. The plan also lists services and service providers you are eligible for. If you are a Social Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) beneficiary and would like to receive a benefits analysis to determine how income you receive from working could impact your benefits, you can request a benefits analysis, also called a WIPA referral. It is recommended that you request this before your VR team writes your IPE.
Remember, your VR Counselor is there to help and you have the right to use a service provider of your choosing, like employU. You can ask to be referred to a specific vender and request other services such as;<\/b> <\/p>\n\n- An interpreter<\/li>\n
- WIPA (Benefits analysis regarding how employment will affect your benefits for SSI and SSDI recipients)<\/li>\n
- Career Counseling and Guidance<\/li>\n
- On-the-job Training<\/li>\n
- Training and Education<\/li>\n
- Assistive Technology<\/li>\n
- Job Placement<\/li>\n
- Job Coaching <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/h4>\n
Begin your path toward success! <\/h4>\n
If you choose employU as a provider, your VR counselor will send a referral to employU. Once our staff receives your referral from your VR counselor, your employment services can begin. You will be contacted for an intake where you can discuss your job goals and plan of action with your employU staff member. <\/p><\/p>
