Extended Services are ongoing employment support services which enable an individual to maintain integrated competitive employment in a community setting.  Individuals must be employed in a community-based, competitive job that pays at or above minimum wage in order to access this service.

• Initial job placement, training, and stabilization.
• Extended Services provide the additional work related supports needed by the individual to continue to be as independent as possible in community employment. If an employed individual has obtained community-based competitive employment and stabilization without Vocational Rehabilitation’s services, the participant is still eligible to receive Extended Services, as long as the participant meets the qualifications noted below.
• Ongoing employment support services are identified in the participants’ Individualized Support Plan and must be related to the participants’ limitations in functional areas (i.e. self-care, understanding and use of language, learning, mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent living, economic self-sufficiency), as are necessary to maintain employment.
