Haw. Code R. § 17-401.1-21 - Specific post-employment services
(a) Post-employment
services, as defined in section 17-401.1-2 are one or more of the specific
services identified in section 17-401.1-6 that are provided subsequent to the
achievement of an employment outcome that are necessary for an eligible
individual to maintain, regain, or advance in employment that is consistent
with the individual's strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities,
capabilities, interests, and informed choice.
(b) Specific post-employment services shall
only be provided to individuals who have achieved an employment outcome, under
an amended IPE, when the individual requires specific post-employment service
to maintain, regain, or advance in employment. The following are examples of
when these services may be needed:
(1) An
individual's employment is jeopardized because of conflicts with supervisors or
coworkers, and the individual needs mental health and counseling services to
maintain the employment.
(2) An
individual's job is eliminated through reorganization and new placement
services are needed.
(3) An
individual's employment is no longer consistent with the individual's
strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests,
and informed choice.
(c)
Specific post-employment services are intended to ensure that the employment
outcome remains consistent with the individual's strengths, resources,
priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed
choice.
(d) Specific
post-employment services shall be available to meet rehabilitation needs that
do not require a complex and comprehensive provision of services and, thus,
shall be limited in scope and duration. If more comprehensive services are
required, then a new rehabilitation effort shall be considered.
(e) The need for specific post-employment
services must be determined during the development and amendment of the IPE,
and prior to case closure when the individual has achieved an employment
outcome.
(1) The IPE for each individual
determined eligible must contain, as determined to be necessary, statements
concerning:
(A) The expected need for
post-employment services prior to closing the record of services of an
individual who has achieved an employment outcome;
(B) A description of the terms and conditions
for the provision of any post-employment services; and
(C) If appropriate, a statement of how
post-employment services will be provided or arranged through other
entities.
(2) The
individual who has achieved an employment outcome must be informed through
appropriate modes of communication of the availability of post-employment
services prior to case closure.
(f) The requirements that apply to the
provision of each of the VR services in sections 17-401.1-16 through
17-401.1-33 are also applicable when providing the VR service as a specific
post-employment service following achievement of the employment outcome,
including the requirements for use of, or exemption from the use of comparable
services and benefits and personal resources, or both, as applicable to each
service.
(g) The following factors
shall be considered in terminating post-employment services:
(1) Satisfactory remediation of the
individual's problems requiring the services;
(2) The individual's attainment of sufficient
independence to function without continuing post-employment services;
(3) The individual's employment appears
secure based on continuing suitable work performance, job satisfaction, and
acceptance in the job setting;
(4)
The individual's employment continues at a suitable level; or
(5) The individual's condition or situation
has worsened to the extent that post-employment services cannot maintain the
individual in employment.
(h) A rehabilitated individual from another
state in need of post-employment services in the State shall be handled as a
new applicant for services.
