When a case has been closed and stability is achieved, how are the extended services and supports typically funded?

When a case has been closed and stability is achieved, extended services and supports are typically funded by sources other than Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS). This is because VRS primarily offers support and services during the active phase of case management. Once a consumer has achieved stability and transitioned out of the active support system, they often need to rely on alternative funding avenues.

These alternative sources may include community programs, non-profit organizations, or private funding mechanisms that can help sustain the services needed. Such funding can fill the gap for long-term support required by individuals to maintain their employment or independence following VRS closure. Therefore, recognizing the reliance on multiple funding sources for ongoing support underscores the importance of community resources and services beyond initial vocational rehabilitation efforts.
