When DVR is operating under an order of selection, individuals are selected for services as follows:

(1) At the time you are determined eligible for VR services, a DVR counselor assigns you to a priority category based on the severity of your disability.

(2) The priority categories are defined in WAC 388-891A-0620 through 388-891A-0660.

(3) As resources become available for DVR to serve additional individuals, DVR selects names from the waiting list in the priority category being served at that time.

(4) Within a priority category, the date you applied for VR services determines the order in which you are selected from the waiting list.

(5) DVR may provide you specific services or equipment without requiring that you wait for services under an order of selection if:

(a) You are at immediate risk of losing your job in a competitive integrated setting for reasons related to your disability; and

(b) You require specific services or equipment in the very near future that will enable you to keep your job.

(6) If you have successfully achieved an employment outcome as described in WAC 388-891A-1310, are currently employed, and require post-employment services, you are not required to wait for services under an order of selection.
