2. We will meet with you to learn more about you, your disability and your abilities.

3. We will collect information about you (such as employment, medical or school records) to determine if you are eligible for services. You may also receive, at no cost to you, diagnostic tests or assessment services needed to help determine if you are eligible.

4. If you are eligible for services, you and your vocational rehabilitation counselor will work together to develop a program of services to help you get a job. You may participate in additional assessments to help you focus on your interests and abilities, and to help identify what services you will need. You and your counselor will prepare an Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) listing your job goal and the services you will receive. If you prefer, you may work on developing this IPE on your own, or with the assistance of another individual who is willing to help you.

5. Services will be provided according to your IPE. The length of this process will vary, depending on your individual situation.

Please note: In order for RS to pay for any services, including diagnostic services, the counselor must give written approval BEFORE the service is provided or purchased. This requirement applies to all services or purchases.

6. When you have completed the services you need, your counselor will help you find a job. Your counselor can guide you, but the primary responsibility to find a job is yours. The more job applications you make, the better your chances.

7. During the first few months that you are employed, your counselor will stay in touch to make sure everything is going well. When your job is stable and you do not need any additional services, your counselor will consider your IPE successfully completed.

8. If you and your counselor think it is necessary, your counselor may check with you periodically to see if you need any services to help you keep your job.
