Beneficiary applies for VR Services and with VR Counselor develops IEP Ticket is placed “in use” by VR. Beneficiary gets a job and after 90 days of employment VR closes case. VR Counselor explains to Beneficiary post employment services available from EN and value of assigning his Ticket. Beneficiary chooses EN to receive post employment services.
