1. (a) Circumstances may arise that prevent a client from participating in the established IPE. These circumstances may therefore require a temporary interruption of services. A case is placed in Service-I when the client is unable to participate in the IPE because of circumstances beyond their control or the participant has not fulfilled requirements identified by the VR agency. Service-I may be used when planned services will be interrupted and there is an assumption that services may resume within a reasonable period of time. Cases should not remain in interrupted status for more than 9 months.

2. (b) The Rehabilitation Counselor will perform the following actions to a case placed in Service-I status:

   1. (1) Contact client at least every 30 days to determine status of interruption.
   2. (2) Review circumstances periodically with Supervisor to determine whether the record of services should remain open or be closed, as appropriate to the individual case.
   3. (3) Change status when appropriate.
