RULE §106.317Case Closure

DBS closes a case when the consumer's rehabilitation plan has been completed, and the consumer has achieved and maintained continuous employment commensurate with the established employment goal for a minimum of 90 days. DBS closes the case sooner if:

  (1) DBS is unable to locate or contact the person;

  (2) the person's disability is so severely limiting that there is little chance the person can be vocationally rehabilitated or the person's medical condition is expected to progress to such a severely limiting degree in a fairly short period of time that rehabilitation services will be of little or no help;

  (3) the person has refused services or further services;

  (4) the person has died;

  (5) the person has been institutionalized;

  (6) the person has been determined to have no disabling condition;

  (7) the person has refused to cooperate with DBS;

  (8) transportation is not feasible or available;

  (9) the person has been determined to have no impediment to employment;

  (10) extended services for supported employment are not available;

  (11) the person has chosen extended employment (for example, sheltered workshop); or

  (12) the person's case has been transferred to another agency.
