Greetings,

The Disability Employment and Transitions Division has recently updated its
website.  One of the new features of the web site is the opportunity to
provide public comment on any of the programs within the division at any
time.  This is of particular note for those who wish to make comment on two
documents that provide guidance to two of the larger programs in the
division; Vocational Rehabilitation and Independent Living.  The two
documents are the Vocational Rehabilitation Services State
Plan<http://www.dphhs.mt.gov/detd/vocrehab/policy-documents.shtml> and the
State Plan for Independent
Living<http://www.dphhs.mt.gov/detd/independentliving/policy-documents.shtml
>.

We welcome comments on these documents and recommendations for future plans.
And of course, we also welcome all comments on how to improve any of the
programs within the division.  You may submit your comments by clicking the
following: Public Comment<http://www.dphhs.mt.gov/detd/index.shtml>.

An important part of the public comment process is the development and
distribution of responses to comments.  The following timelines have been
developed for responses submitted through the website.  All comments
provided up to April 30 of each year will be responded to in one document.
That document will include the responses to comments made through other
venues such as the statewide public hearing meeting and written comments
that may come in during the year.  The public comment response document will
be available by July 1 of each year.
The response document will be available at the link for the Vocational
Rehabilitation Services State
Plan<http://www.dphhs.mt.gov/detd/vocrehab/policy-documents.shtml>.

We hope you take advantage of this ongoing opportunity to review the state
plans and other information related to our programs on the new website, and
make comments that will help us in our efforts at continuous improvement in
serving Montanans with disabilities in their quest for employment and
independence.
