Section 612:10-7-24.5 - Closed - Not Accepted for Services(a)Not accepted for services. This status is used for closing cases in which the individual is not accepted for vocational rehabilitation services, whether closed from applicant status or from trial work status. (1)Closure due to ineligibility. The designated State unit may not close an applicant's record of services prior to making an eligibility determination unless the applicant declines to participate in, or is unavailable to complete, an assessment for determining eligibility and priority for services, and the State unit has made a reasonable number of attempts to contact the applicant or, if appropriate, the applicant's representative to encourage the applicant's participation. (A) Disability too severe (from Trial Work Experience only) or unfavorable medical prognosis. (B) No disabling condition. (C) No impediment to employment. (D) Rehabilitation services are not required for an employment outcome. (2)Closure due to other reasons.(C) Refused services or further services. (E) Client institutionalized. (F) Transfer to another agency. (G) Failure to cooperate. (b)Personal contacts. Personal contacts are made with all persons closed in this status, if possible, and the results of those contacts are recorded in a case narrative. If the applicant cannot be contacted, all attempts to contact are recorded. (c)Case recording requirements. All applicants whose cases are closed in this status should be notified in writing, with the exceptions noted in sub-paragraph (b). A case is closed due to ineligibility only with full participation of the applicant, the applicant's parent, guardian, or other representative. The rationale for the ineligibility decision is recorded on the closure letter including the views of the applicant or appropriate representative. A copy of the letter is given to the applicant or appropriate representative with a detailed explanation of the services available from the Client Assistance Program, including a referral to Federal, State or local programs or service providers, including, as appropriate, independent living programs and extended employment providers, best suited to meet their rehabilitation needs, if the ineligibility determination is based on a finding that the individual has chosen not to pursue, or is incapable of achieving, an employment outcome no matter the reason for closure.
