(a)
The Vocational Rehabilitation Services Division:
(1) prior to providing any vocational
rehabilitation services to an eligible individual, or to members of the
individual's family, except those services listed in subsection (b) of this
section, shall determine whether comparable services and benefits exist under
any other program and whether those services and benefits are available to the
individual;
(2) if comparable
services or benefits exist under any other program and are available to the
eligible individual at the time needed to achieve the rehabilitation objectives
of the individual's IWRP, shall use those comparable services or benefits to
meet, in whole or in part, the cost of vocational rehabilitation services;
and
(3) if comparable services or
benefits exist under any other program, but are not available to the individual
at the time needed to satisfy the rehabilitation objectives in the individual's
IWRP, shall provide vocational rehabilitation services until those comparable
services and benefits become available.
(b) A prior determination of the availability
of comparable services and benefits under subsection (a) of this section shall
not be required in connection with the provision of any of the following
services:

eligibility and priority for services.
(2) Assessment for determining vocational
rehabilitation needs.
(3)
Vocational rehabilitation counseling, guidance, and referral
services.
(4) Vocational and other

(7) Post-employment services consisting of
the services listed under subsections (b)(1) through (6) of this

(c) The
requirements of subsection (a) of this section also do not apply if:

comparable services and benefits under any other program would delay the
provision of vocational rehabilitation services to any individual who is
determined to be at extreme medical risk, based on medical evidence provided by
an appropriate qualified medical professional; or
(2) an immediate job placement would be lost
due to a delay in the provision of comparable services and benefits.
