Frequently Asked Questions
Who should participate in this employment discovery discussion?
Any person receiving services on the waiver could benefit from this employment pathway planning
packet. The purpose of the employment pathway packet is to start the discussion on employment
interests with people to ensure they have the opportunity to explore employment options that meet
their interests.
Who should complete this packet with the participant?
Providers of Employment Discovery and Customization, Prevocational Services, or other employment
services who have completed a Division approved Supported Employment Certification program shall
complete the employment pathway planning packet. Case managers DO NOT complete this packet.
When should the employment pathway packet be completed?
This packet must be completed when a provider requests the Employment Discovery and
Customization services on a participants plan. The Division will allocate 100 units for the service at
which time the employment service provider will then complete sections “Evaluate”, “Discovery”,
“Developing a Plan of Action”, and “Employment Plan” of the employment pathway planning packet.
Once these sections are completed and uploaded into EMWS, an additional 300 units for
Employment Discovery and Customization services can be added to the plan through a modification.
Within the plan year, the entire employment pathway packet shall be completed and uploaded to
EMWS. The employment plan should be implemented and functional when all sections are
completed. This packet CANNOT be completed in one interview. There are multiple steps involved
that require planning, lengthy discussions with the participant and other people in his/her life, and
engaging in workplace internships, visits, etc.
Can any participant on the waiver complete this packet?
Yes. This packet could be a useful tool for providers, family members, and teams to learn more about
a participant. Hopefully, the employment pathway planning packet will lead participants to finding
jobs or for those working, it may lead to more fulfilling work by exploring their interests, skills, and
setting up new work experiences. Provider reimbursement for completion of this packet will only
occur if the participant is receiving employment discovery and customization services as outlined in
their plan of care and all other service provision rules are met.
What is timeline for completing the steps for Prevocational service?
For Prevocational Services, the employment pathway planning packet must be completed in order to
receive a subsequent year of prevocational services. This employment pathway packet should be
completed during the first year of prevocational service and uploaded to EMWS. The employment
plan must be completed and steps implemented for prevocational services to be added the
second year. This process must be repeated each year if prevocational services stay on a person’s
plan. Each year of implementation should decrease the amount of prevocational services used.
