What does Order of Selection Mean?

Order of selection is a process for prioritizing eligible individuals that a vocational rehabilitation (VR) agency intends to serve based on available resources and capacity. The federal government requires a state VR agency to implement an order of selection when it does not have enough money or staff to serve everyone who is eligible. The Rehabilitation Act, as amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), requires that individuals with the most significant disabilities be served first.

Currently, there is no order of selection for VR services in New Hampshire.
