When does DVR contact me after my case is closed?

(1) DVR contacts you to determine your interests, priorities, and needs with respect to competitive integrated employment or training for competitive integrated employment every six months for the first two years after your case service record is closed and annually after that when:
(a) You achieve a supported employment outcome and earn wages below the federal minimum wage according to section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act while working toward competitive integrated employment; or
(b) You choose extended employment as defined in WAC 388-891A-0010(5).
(2) DVR will review your case within twelve months and annually thereafter at your request if you received supported employment services from DVR and your case was closed because you and your DVR counselor were unable to find a source for extended services.
(3) If DVR closes your case after determining you are ineligible due to the severity of your disability, DVR will conduct a review of your ineligibility determination within twelve months.
(a) If you request, DVR will contact you annually to discuss your situation after the first twelve months.
(b) DVR will no longer conduct these requested annual reviews in situations in which you have declined such reviews, you are no longer present in the state, your whereabouts are unknown, or your medical condition is rapidly progressive or terminal.
(4) DVR may contact you periodically to request information about your participation in VR services for program improvement purposes.
