SECTION 612:10-7-59. Closed not rehabilitated, after IPE initiation

(a)   Use of Closed not rehabilitated status. Cases closed in this status have progressed to service status and for some reason the IPE could not be completed. The decision to close the case in this status is made only after the client is given the opportunity to fully participate in the decision and after all factors have been considered. Clients who choose to remain in extended employment as a goal, without pursuing competitive employment in an integrated setting through supported employment or other programs, will not be considered as having achieved an employment outcome. A case is closed in this status due to ineligibility only with full participation of the client, client's parent, guardian, or other representative unless the individual has refused to participate, the individual is no longer a resident of Oklahoma, the individual's whereabouts are unknown, or the individual's condition is rapidly progressive or terminal. The rationale for the ineligibility decision is documented in the case record, and in a letter written to the client, including the views of the client or appropriate representative. A copy of the letter is given to the client or appropriate representative with a detailed explanation of the services available from CAP. Procedures for annual review of ineligibility are to be explained to the client or appropriate representative in an understandable form. When appropriate, a referral is made to other agencies.

(b)   Case recording requirements. The client, or authorized representative, must be given an opportunity to participate fully in the closure decision. A copy of the closure notification letter will be given to the client. The recording on the case will summarize the services provided, explain why the IPE could not be completed, referral to any other appropriate programs, and contain the client's views of the closure decision, when appropriate.
