32 Miss. Code. R. 10-1-1.4 - Vocational Rehabilitation Services For Employees Of MDRS

The practice for providing services to MDRS employees who have disabilities are the same as those for providing VR services to any person with a disability. Every case being considered for VR services must be subjected to the eligibility criteria established in Title I, Section 102(a) of the Act. These criteria are equally applicable to employees of MDRS who may apply for VR services.

An employee of MDRS who is seeking VR services should never confuse these services with having reasonable accommodations on the job. The concept of reasonable accommodations applies to the accommodations needed at the job site in order to function on the job. The use of comparable benefits must be evident in all rehabilitation programs. Employees can find instructions for submitting an accommodation request in the MDRS P&P Manual.
