Employment
Historically, individuals with disabilities have experienced a higher rate of unemployment or underemployment, which represents a significant barrier to achieving the level of independence and productivity that many people with disabilities wish to attain.
Following are objectives that IPAS staff will work to complete in order to increase the opportunity for individuals with disabilities to attain full employment:
Investigate complaints on behalf of individuals seeking employment services regarding Vocational Rehabilitation Services and Centers for Independent Living eligibility determination.
Investigate complaints regarding failure of Vocational Rehabilitation Services and Centers for Independent Living in providing choice to individuals seeking services under these programs.
Monitor the quality and completeness of Individual Plan for Employment documents developed by Vocational Rehabilitation Services and Centers for Independent Living as they relate to the individual’s identified vocational services and supports as well as choice(s).
Review selected Vocational Rehabilitation Services policy to assure compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 As Amended.
Review and investigate complaints of improper or inadequate services provided to a beneficiary by a service provider, employer or other entity involved in the beneficiary’s return to work effort.
