  • State Vocational Rehabilitation Offices are the only Employment Networks that receive Federal Cost Reimbursement for their services. This allows them to provide financial assistance in some instances if an individual is a beneficiary and requires funding in order to be able to return to work. State Vocational Rehabilitation Programs differ among states. If you are in need of any sort of financial assistance, you should contact your State Vocational Rehabilitation Office for an appointment to verify your eligibility and talk to them about their services.
