(a) Make the ineligibility determination only after providing an opportunity for full consultation with the person or, as appropriate, with the person's representative;

(b) Inform the person in writing, supplemented as necessary by other appropriate modes of communication consistent with the informed choice of the person, of the ineligibility determination, including:

(d) Refer the person to:

(1) Other programs that are part of the One-Stop service delivery system under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act that can address the person's training or employment-related needs; or

(2) Federal, State, or local programs or service providers, including, as appropriate, independent living programs and extended employment providers, best suited to meet their rehabilitation needs, if the ineligibility determination is based on a finding that the person has chosen not to pursue, or is incapable of achieving an employment outcome as defined in section 199; and

(e) Review any ineligibility determination that is based on a finding that the person is incapable of achieving an employment outcome within twelve (12) months and, if requested by the person or, if appropriate, by the person's representative, annually thereafter.
