Would the Division be willing to waive the prior approval process for the Supported Employment Program to facilitate these conversions?
Maximizing the use of Vocational Rehabilitation funds prior to receiving Supported Employment services through the Waiver, which is the basis of the prior approval process, is a federal requirement for the Waivers. We are not in a position to waive this process. We should be able to facilitate the process, however, with the Division of Rehabilitation Services for these conversions. We will discuss this further with providers as they come forward with proposals involving Support Employment funds.
