Section 351-6-6 - Plan Termination

An employment rehabilitation plan may end in the following ways:

1. The provider notifies the parties and the Executive Director or the Executive Director's designee, through a closure report, that services outlined in the plan have been completed.
2. The duration allowed under §217(5) has expired.
3. A provider's request for an extension of time is denied by the Executive Director or the Executive Director's designee, or, if there is an objection to the request, by the Hearing Officer or ALJ.
4. The provider terminates the plan because the applicant is unwilling or unable to continue, or is otherwise uncooperative.
5. The parties enter into an agreement to end the plan.
6. A Hearing Officer or ALJ orders the plan to end.
7. The applicant's workers' compensation claim lump sum settles. The Employment Rehabilitation Fund is not responsible for costs incurred after a case is lump sum settled. If the provider was not notified of the date of the lump sum settlement, then any costs incurred after the settlement date shall be paid by the employer/insurer.
