Overview
Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) helps Texans with disabilities prepare for, get, and keep a job. To qualify, you generally need to show three things:
- You have a physical or mental impairment.
- That impairment is a substantial barrier to getting or keeping a job.
- VR services are likely to help you become employed.
If you receive SSI or SSDI
If you already receive Social Security disability benefits, you're presumed eligible for VR services - one less thing to prove.
What happens next
Once you apply, your VR agency has a set number of days to make an eligibility decision. If you're found not eligible, you'll get a written explanation along with information about your right to appeal that decision.
