SECTION 106.317. Case Closure

DBS closes a case when the consumer's rehabilitation plan has been completed, and the consumer has achieved and maintained continuous employment commensurate with the established employment goal for a minimum of 90 days. DBS closes the case sooner if:

(1) DBS is unable to locate or contact the person;

(2) the person's disability is so severely limiting that there is little chance the person can be vocationally rehabilitated or the person's medical condition is expected to progress to such a severely limiting degree in a fairly short period of time that rehabilitation services will be of little or no help;

(3) the person has refused services or further services;

(4) the person has died;

(5) the person has been institutionalized;

(6) the person has been determined to have no disabling condition;

(7) the person has refused to cooperate with DBS;

(8) transportation is not feasible or available;

(9) the person has been determined to have no impediment to employment;

(10) extended services for supported employment are not available;

(11) the person has chosen extended employment (for example, sheltered workshop); or

(12) the person's case has been transferred to another agency.
