- (1) An order of selection will be used if 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) when the eligibility determination is made.
- (a) The determination will be based on medical, psychological, and other diagnostic documentation and a clinical assessment by the QVRC.
- (b) The QVRC may use, but is not bound by, determinations made by other state or federal agencies.
- (3) Individuals who have been determined eligible for SSI or SSDI disability benefits by the Social Security Administration are considered to be at least significantly disabled.
