As reported by Disability Scoop, new guidance from the U.S. Department of Education’s Rehabilitation Services Administration “details how vocational rehabilitation agencies should respond to requests for out-of-state services.”
The five-page technical assistance document says “if a vocational rehabilitation recipient is seeking services that fall within the needs identified in their individualized plan for employment, or IPE, the agency should accommodate an out-of-state option so long as no comparable in-state option exists.”
