R993-200-202. Determining Need for and Order of Selection

  (1) An order of selection will be used in the event the division lacks the resources to provide all eligible individuals with services necessary to obtain, retain, or engage in employment. In that event, the order of selection for services will be provided based on the significance of disability. The order of selection will provide services to eligible individuals with the most significant disability first, followed by eligible individuals with significant disabilities, and finally, eligible individuals with disabilities that are not-significant.

  (2) Significance of disability is determined by a qualified vocational rehabilitation counselor (QVRC) at the time the eligibility determination is made. The determination will be based on medical, psychological, and other diagnostic documentation and a clinical assessment by the QVRC. The QVRC may use, but is not bound by, determinations made by other state or federal agencies.
