Vocational rehab's ultimate goal is to spend their funding. They generally want to spend the money they have on lightly disabled that fit back into their old jobs easily. (like the girl that lost a nail and can't answer the phone unless its specially designed, or the overweight stripper that needs a gastro-bypass)You're only part time and still getting SSDI. You should apply for a job at Voc. Rehab. You're qualified, after all, you can't get off your butt and thats all they ever demonstrated to me while telling me what a pain it is to find work for people like me. Good luck, Julie! john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 12:32 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] Voc Rehab ????
I just a got a job at Bass Pro in Portage. They seem like a really good company to work for. It’s part-time and will not interfere with my SSDI. Situation: When I worked before voc. Rehab paid for the modifications for a van (I bought the van). This was in 99. Question? How soon will the state do that again? My voc rehab counselor has never really been supportive of me. Yes, they paid for college; but ever since I’ve had to switch to Lake County’s office their not the same. The ultimate goal of voc rehab is to help you find employment. I’ve done the work for them. Anybody know how I can find out about this? Julie C5-6 Portage, IN.
