Eligibility Guidelines:
Do I qualify for Supported Employment services?
The Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation determines OVR eligibility for supported employment services, and then makes referrals to supported employment providers. To find contact information for regional OVR offices, visit: www.ovr.ky.gov/programservices/district.htm As long as you’re found eligible by the OVR for supported employment, OVR pays the initial costs including Person Centered Job Selection, Job Planning Meetings, Job Development, Job Analysis, Job Negotiation, and supporting your learning and becoming established in the job. Then the Supported Employment Providers have a variety of ways of paying for long-term support services including problem solving on the job, and promoting job advancements. Either you may contact OVR first, or you may begin by talking with Supported Employment Providers who will connect you with OVR to determine eligibility.
