Vocational Rehabilitation Rules Public Comment The Family and Social Services Administration Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services is seeking public comment on adding rules at 460 IAC 14.1, and repealing rules at 460 IAC 14, concerning the vocational rehabilitation services program. The proposed rule repeals the outdated 460 IAC 14 and promulgates 460 IAC 14.1 to bring the rule into compliance with the current federal law (29 U.S.C. 701 et seq.) and the additions to the federal law made with the passage of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) (29 U.S.C. 32) as well as the implementing regulations at 34 CFR 361. WIOA, signed into law in July 2014, was promulgated on a federal level to help individuals access employment, education, training, and support services. The proposed rulemaking echoes the desire to help individuals with disabilities access employment, education, training, and support services. Furthermore, the proposed rule clarifies the information provided to citizens of Indiana who may be eligible for support and services provided by the VR program. The rule also contains standards applicable to providers of vocational rehabilitative services. A copy of the proposed rules is available here.
