Client Signatures - answerClients are required to sign many Division forms to either
affirm their participation in developing the form or that they received a particular
document from the counselor. Signatures may be of the individual or, if appropriate, a
parent, family member, guardian, advocate, or an authorized representative of the
individual. If the individual with a disability has not yet reached the eighteenth birthday
and is not a legally emancipated minor, then additional signatures must be secured. If
the individual is under eighteen and has been adjudicated a ward of the State, then an
adult who is involved with the individual must sign required documents. Specific
requirements are noted in appropriate polices.
In the electronic case management system, dating a signature for the individual signifies
that the individual has signed a hard copy of the document. A signature should not be
dated in the electronic case management system until the individual has signed the
particular document.
Referral and application process: Availability for Services - answerIn order to become
an applicant for services or continue in services, the individual must be available to
participate in necessary assessments for purposes of determining eligibility,
rehabilitation needs and services. When a criminal records check indicates that the
individual is a fugitive from justice (i.e. criminal background check contains instructions
to contact law enforcement authorities immediately), the individual will not be
,considered available for services. Individuals in the following circumstances may not be
considered available for participation in services:
1. Have current charges with pending court dates or sentencing that would prevent the
individual from participating in a program of vocational rehabilitation services (these
situations must be staffed with the Supervisor)
2. Cannot/or are unwilling to attend appointments and evaluations
3. Are unwilling to participate in essential disability related treatment that will enable an
individual to benefit from Division services in terms of an employment outcome

Referral and Application Process: Referrals - answerReferrals may be made by any
individual, agency, professional, relative or friend; or individuals may self-refer. Once an
individual states an interest in VR services, the individual must be provided with
sufficient information to aid the individual's decision on further pursuit of services. This
will include informing the individual that the Division conducts criminal background
checks on all interested individuals including those who are minors.
A criminal background check must be completed in order for the individual to be
scheduled for a group orientation session or referred for VR services. In addition, the
Division's confidentiality policy should be explained, including circumstances in which
information will be shared with or without the client's consent. Upon completion of the
referral, the individual may be scheduled for an appointment for purposes of taking a VR
application.
The following information will be documented at the time of the referral:
• Name
• Date of referral
• Address
• Date of birth
• Telephone number
• Stated impediment to employment and requested services
• The date the application intake is scheduled or applicant packet mailed or given to the
individual
• If the application is not completed within 21 calendar days, the circumstances for delay
must be documented
• At least two efforts to contact the individual must be documented on the referral form if
an application is not completed
• Completion of Criminal Background Check
, Circumstances that result in a delay in the application process must be documented on
a case note. The date of referral must be entered into the database.

student and the student's representative satisfy the 21day requirement for initiating the
application process.)

individual with a guardian followed by scheduling an intake at the office or other
location. (NOTE: The date of receipt of the signed guardian consent represents the
