[Filed September 11, 2024, 8:17 a.m.]

The department of social and health services' division of vocational rehabilitation (DVR) is planning to close some priority of service categories and follow an order of selection for serving customers. This has to do with high requests for services and limited resources. As a result, some customers will have to go on a waiting list. DVR is holding a public forum to hear community feedback about this change.

Washington state rehabilitation council and DVR invite you to comment on order of selection and the transition to a waiting list for some customers in a public forum on Monday, September 16, 2024, from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. The forum will be held virtually.

Please submit your comments on the transition to a waiting list starting Friday, August 16 to Monday, September 16, 2024. Email your comments to DVRStatePlan@dshs.wa.gov.

To view the current 2024-2027 DVR state plan and proposed amendment with order of selection information, go to the DVR website www.dshs.wa.gov/dvr/dvr-state-plan.
