1. You will meet with a counselor to discuss if you want to work and if you have a disability.

2. The counselor will look at papers that tell about what you can do and what you need to learn to be able to work.

3. The counselor will decide if you are eligible or accepted for help getting a job.

4. If you are eligible, you and the counselor will write a plan about how VR can help you. You have the right to discuss with your counselor what you want in the plan.

You have the right to request some or all of these services if needed to help you work:

1. Rehabilitation Technology: Any devices or equipment you need to help you be able to work.

2. Personal Assistance Services: VR can pay a person to help you with daily living activities that will help you work.

3. Supported Employment Services: VR can pay for services, such as a job coach, to help you get and keep a job in the community.

4. Ongoing Support Services: Anything you need at home, in the community or at work to help you find and keep your job.

5. Transition Services: These are services planned while you are in high school to help you work when you leave school.

6. Postemployment Services: VR can help you again if you have a problem that may cause you to loose your job.

7. Maintenance: If you don't have enough money to live on because your plan requires you to make a change that costs you more money, VR can help you pay your increased living expenses.

8. Transportation: VR can help pay for bus tokens, a taxi, car repairs, or a driver if you need this to get to work or other services on your plan.

9. Training and books: If you need special training to get the job you want, your counselor can put it in your plan and pay for it.

10. Clothes: If you need clothes to wear for an interview or at work, VR can help you pay for new clothes.

11. Counseling and other therapies: If you need these and Medicaid will not pay, VR may be willing to put them on your plan if they will help you work.

12. Any other service that you need to be able to work or keep your job.

1. Call your counselor and talk about it.

2. Call 336-5353 or 1-800-632-5125 and ask for help from the CAP advocate. This person's job is to help people get services from VR.

3. Tell your counselor that you don't like the decision and ask for help to have it reviewed. Ask for help as soon as you know you don't agree with what the counselor decided.
