Section 32-10-5-5.2 - Eligibility Criteria

An individual is eligible for VR services when the following three (3) criteria have been met:

1. The individual has a physical or mental impairment;

2. The individual's impairment constitutes or results in a substantial impediment to employment; and

3. The individual requires VR services to prepare for, secure, retain, advance in, or regain employment consistent with the individual's strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed choice.

32 Miss. Code. R. 10-5-5.2

Adopted 8/1/2022

If an individual meets the first two (2) criteria, OVR/OVRB will assume he/she can benefit from services in terms of an employment outcome. ⁵⁰ However, if the significance of the individual's disability prevents the VR counselor from making this assumption, the individual may participate in a TWE.
