[nabs-l] signing up for rehab plus questiom about rehab

[Suzanne Germano]

Some states have a wait list for rehab so the sooner you sign up the
better. Call the local rehab office and they will tell you how to apply. I
don't remember how I did it in CA but here in AZ I have to first going
watch an orientation video then fill out application paperwork. If you call
them they can probably send you the application. Once you are approved put
in request right away. I had to appeal a request that they turned down
which is time consuming.
