Vocational rehabilitation advisers will arrange referral procedures
with State Employment Service units within their assigned geographical
districts for the purpose of securing employment counseling, job
classification, and selective placement assistance. Referrals shall be
made to State Employment Offices based upon the following:
(a) Vocational rehabilitation advisers will screen cases so as to
refer only those disabled employees who are considered to have
employment potential;
(b) Only employees will be referred who have permanent, compensable
disabilities resulting in a significant vocational handicap and loss of
wage earning capacity;
(c) Disabled employees, whose initial referral to former private
employers did not result in a job reassignment or in a job retention,
shall be referred for employment counseling and/or selective placement
unless retraining services consideration is requested;
(d) The vocational rehabilitation advisers shall arrange for
employees' referrals if it is ascertained that they may benefit from
registering with the State Employment Service;
(e) Referrals will be made to appropriate State Employment Offices
by letter, including all necessary information and a request for a
report on the services provided the employee when he registers;
(f) The injured employee shall be advised of available job
counseling services and informed that he is being referred for
employment and selective placement;
(g) A followup shall be made within 60 days on all referrals to
assure uniform reporting by State agencies on cases referred for a
vocational survey.
