[NFBMT] From the Disability Rights Montana Letter: Montana Vocational Rehabilitation

[d m gina]

What is hard is the senior doesn't have much to apply for.
Many of us our seniors.

Original message:
> Montana Vocational Rehabilitation (VR)

> The state of the Vocational Rehabilitation Program in Montana is of great
> concern. In March 2017, the last of the three categories of eligibility was
> closed. For five months, VR has not taken any new cases and we are very
> concerned about how long this situation will last. When queried, VR officials
> have no estimates as to when they may be able to open a category and serve
> people with disabilities again.

> The reason that this was done were substantial cost overruns in the program.
> The overruns amounted to roughly $4 million for the fiscal year.

> We urge people to continue to apply for services. It is essential that anyone
> interested in services apply for services and get onto the waiting list as
> early as possible, as when they decide to open categories, VR will be serving
> people based on the order on the wait list.

> Live the life you want



> The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
> characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
> expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
> between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
> blindness is not what holds you back.
