OVR/OVRB must ensure that an IPE is developed for each individual determined eligible for VR services, or if the agency is operating under an Order of Selection (OOS), for each eligible individual in an open priority category.
An IPE is a formal written agreement between an eligible individual, or as appropriate his/her representative, and his/her VR/VRB counselor. The intended purpose of the IPE is to document and describe the required rehabilitation services necessary for an eligible individual to prepare for, secure, retain, regain, or advance in employment.
Individuals have the option of developing their IPE, on MDRS approved forms, with or without assistance from their counselor, representative, or chosen advocate;67 however, the IPE does not go into effect until agreed upon and signed by the individual, or as appropriate, his/her representative, and his/her MDRS VR/VRB counselor. 68
