Alaska Statutes Title 23. Labor and Workers' Compensation § 23.15.080. Eligibility for vocational rehabilitation service

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) Vocational rehabilitation service shall be provided directly or through a public or private instrumentality to an individual with a disability who

(1) is a resident of the state at the time of application for the service and whose vocational rehabilitation the agency determines after full investigation can be satisfactorily achieved; or

(2) is eligible for the service under an agreement with another state or with the federal government.

(b) In determining the types and extent of vocational rehabilitation services to be provided to an individual with a disability, the agency shall take into consideration any similar benefits that may be available to the individual under other programs. However, the agency may not take other benefits into consideration when doing so would significantly delay the provision of needed services to the individual with a disability. The agency need not take other benefits into consideration when they are for

(1) diagnostic and related services, including transportation and subsistence in connection with those services;

(2) counseling, guidance, and referral;

(3) training, including personal and vocational adjustment training, and necessary training materials;

(4) services to members of families of individuals with disabilities;

(5) job placement; and

(6) services necessary to assist individuals with disabilities to maintain suitable employment.
