[Rehab] Informed Choice in Job Jeopardy Cases

[Justin Salisbury]

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your reply.

This person was told that job jeopardy cases do not get IPE's. This person is in a state with a fully closed Order of Selection, so that nobody can sign up for VR services. Apparently, the state is trying to figure out how to start serving people via job jeopardy cases first, so they think they can give job jeopardy services but not sign people up for a VR case with an IPE. Does a standard job jeopardy case involve an Individualized Plan for Employment?

This person was told that there was no ability to choose their own vendors, such as who they might want to work with to receive rehabilitation teaching services. This agency tries to deny informed choice with every single one of their customers, so it's not really surprising, but I was skeptical of their argument that job jeopardy cases did not afford customers informed choice. 

Do you have more info to add?

Thank you,

Justin

Justin,

What was the rationale for not having the person on an IPE? Even with a job in jeopardy case this should still be on an IPE. Informed choice should apply to any service received from the agency. It does not of course imply that the client receieves anything they choose but one the less is still an important consideration for the client and in the life of the case.

Best regards,
Ian
