The program page lists six requirements: "The participant must be a citizen enrolled in a federally recognized tribe"; "The participant must have a medically documented physical, cognitive, or mental disability, which includes a 504 plan or IEP in high school"; "The participant’s impairment must constitute or result in a substantial impediment or barrier to employment"; "The participant can benefit from VR services, which will lead to gainful employment"; "The participant requires VR services to prepare to enter, maintain, or retain high-quality employment, thereby increasing self-sufficiency"; and a residency requirement in the program’s service area. The program places particular emphasis on serving American Indians "who have problems with alcohol or substance dependency, diabetes, physical, learning, and/or mental disabilities." Its primary focus is competitive, integrated employment, and "The participant must be actively engaged in the process of securing employment through the VR Program." Services are based on available funds and each Individualized Plan of Employment is tailored to the consumer, so may not include every listed service.
