Except as provided in Ed 1006.04(b) through (d), within 60 days of an individual’s application for services pursuant to Ed 1004.01(h), NHVR shall notify the individual regarding eligibility as follows:

1. (a) When sufficient information and documentation exists to determine eligibility, that the applicant is eligible for services, and planning for services continues;
2. (b) When eligibility cannot be determined because of the severity of the person's disability, that a written plan shall be developed for the services to be provided during a trial work experience to determine if the individual can benefit from NHVR services;

3. (c) When sufficient information and documentation exists to determine that the applicant is not eligible for services because NHVR has documented that the individual:

   1. (1) Does not have a disability;
   2. (2) Does not have a substantial impediment to employment;
   3. (3) Is unable to benefit from vocational rehabilitation services in terms of an employment outcome because of the severity of the disability, justified by clear and convincing evidence demonstrated by a trial work experience pursuant to Ed 1006.03; or
   4. (4) Does not require services.
