Order of Selection

Currently, OVR has enough funds to serve all eligible consumers. However, OVR has an Order of Selection policy to be used should there be inadequate funding to serve all applicants who are deemed eligible for VR services. The federal government requires the use of an order of selection process if funding becomes an issue. OVR must serve people with the most significant disabilities first. Placing you in a priority category provides a fair way to serve all applicants in the correct order. Those in the "most significantly disabled" category will be served first, then if funds permit, those in the "significantly disabled" category will be served followed by those in the "disabled category". Within each category, we serve people according to date of application. The person who applies first is served first, the person who applies second is served next etc., until everyone in that category has been served.
