32 Miss. Code. R. 21-1-1.2
The practice for providing services to MDRS employees who have disabilities are exactly the same as those for providing vocational rehabilitation services to any person with a disability. Every case being considered for vocational rehabilitation services must be subjected to the eligibility criteria established in Section 102(a), Title I of the 1998 Rehabilitation Act Amendments. These criteria are equally applicable to employees of MDRS who may apply for vocational rehabilitation services. An employee of MDRS who is seeking vocational rehabilitation services should never confuse these services with having reasonable accommodations on the job. The concept of reasonable accommodations on the job applies to the accommodations needed at the job site in order to function on the job. The use of comparable benefits must be evident in all rehabilitation programs.
