N.J. Admin. Code § 10:91-5.3

Current through Register Vol. 57, No. 1, January 6, 2025

Section 10:91-5.3 - Individual Client Service Plans

(a) The client and primary caseworker shall discuss and agree to an Individual Client Service Plan (ISP) which addresses the client's needs. Vocational rehabilitation (VR) clients have an alternate plan called the Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) which is developed once eligibility for VR services has been determined (see N.J.A.C. 10:95-1.1(c) ). Both the client and caseworker shall sign the ISP or IPE.

(b) A statement indicating that choices were provided to the consumer will be included on every IPE. This statement will be developed by the consumer, the parent or guardian, prior to the signature on the IPE. The rehabilitation counselor has the option of commenting on the plan.

(c) The ISP shall be completed as soon as possible after the applicant survey. The ISP should include the type of services to be provided, the timeframes for their completion and the applicant's comments, if any.

(d) The ISP or IPE shall be reviewed with the client at a meeting on an annual basis. Revision of the ISP or IPE may be necessary due to change in a client's goals or objectives, change in a client's condition and/or situation, progress, achievement of objectives, newly identified problems or needs, or unobtainable objectives. For VR clients, an amendment to the IPE shall be written.

(e) At case closure, the current ISP or IPE shall be annotated to reflect which objectives were or were not achieved.
