If you are receiving DVR services in a Plan for Employment, you will continue to receive those services
If you have recently applied or been made eligible for DVR services, but are not yet in a plan for employment, you will be placed on a waitlist

When we are able to serve participants from the waitlist, we will serve people with the most significant disabilities first, according to their application date

We know waiting to receive services can be stressful. If you need help now, visit our

Background
DVR is currently serving more people than ever before, and more individuals with disabilities are entering the workforce. The demand for services is increasing faster than the available staff and financial resources can support. When DVR cannot serve all eligible applicants immediately, federal law requires a waitlist, based on disability priority category. As the most effective method for managing costs, a waitlist will help DVR staff continue to provide critical, individualized services.

"I found a passion and longing for the world...I can make a difference and I can help people help themselves, which is even better than doing for them because they can do for themselves in the future, it's fantastic and I love it, and it's all thanks to the supports that I've gotten from DVR."
