Section 612:10-7-50 - Eligibility Status(a)Use of Eligibility Status. An active case is defined as one which has been accepted as meeting the basic eligibility requirements. An applicant who has been determined eligible for vocational rehabilitation will be placed in Eligibility Status for completion of a comprehensive assessment to determine employment goal and rehabilitation needs and for development of the Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE). An individual who is placed in an order of selection priority group that is not currently being served will be placed on a waiting list and held there pending further directives from the Director concerning opening or closing of priority groups. (b)Case recording requirements. The counselor records activities during this period by individual entry or by summary recording at regular intervals in case narratives. Copies of pertinent case information will be shared with all DVR or DSBVI professionals involved in the case. During eligibility status and throughout the life of the case, DSBVI counselors and rehabilitation teachers will share pertinent information related to a case they jointly serve. Pertinent case information will also be shared with contracted vendors, when appropriate, with a release signed by the client. If an IPE cannot be developed during this period, the client's case is closed with a full explanation to the client and documentation as to the reason for closing the case. This documentation will be completed on a closure letter and a copy given to the client. Okla. Admin. Code § 612:10-7-50
