Vocational Rehabilitation for Adults

Before you start

  • Employment goals, disability and school records, transition assessments, work experience, benefits information, accommodations, and preferred contact method.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above or the LIDDA, service coordinator, program office, or contact named in the current notice.

Step by step

  1. Review the ARD transition plan and list unfinished adult-agency handoffs.
  2. Use Start My VR, the VR office lookup, or the official TWC contact route.
  3. Complete the VR application and track eligibility and the Individualized Plan for Employment separately.

Expected next

A VR staff contact, application, information request, eligibility decision, or employment-plan meeting.

Save this proof

Referral, application, counselor contact, school handoff, records, eligibility notice, and plan.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Contact the VR office and ask who owns the application, what remains open, and the next decision date.
