§ 404.2113 - Payment for VR services in a case of VR refusal.
-
(a) For purposes of this section,
VR refusal means an individual's refusal to continue to accept VR services or failure to cooperate in such a manner as to preclude the individual's successful rehabilitation.(b) No later than the 60th day after the State VR agency or alternate participant makes a preliminary finding that an individual refuses to continue to accept VR services or fails to cooperate in a VR program, the State VR agency or alternate participant shall report to the appropriate Regional Commissioner (SSA) in writing such individual's VR refusal so that we may make the determination described in § 404.2109(c).
(c) Payment can be made to a State VR agency or alternate participant for the costs of VR services provided to an individual who, after filing an application with the State VR agency or alternate participant for rehabilitation services, without good cause, refuses to continue to accept VR services or fails to cooperate in such a manner as to preclude the individual's successful rehabilitation. A State VR agency or alternate participant may be paid, subject to the provisions of this subpart, for the costs of VR services provided to an individual prior to his or her VR refusal if deductions have been imposed against the individual's monthly disability benefits for a month(s) after October 1984 because of such VR refusal.
