Customer Service vs. Competition
• Imperative DPN’s understand this & communicate this philosophy
• Outcome is serving people with the most appropriate, readily available service to achieve their employment goal.
• DPN’s need to engage with local VR/IDB folks to determine ticket assignment best fit.
Relationship with State VR Agencies
Working agreement between VR, IDB, IWD• If person working with VR, we support the
person & counselor. If person unhappy offer to bring them together to problem solve.
• If person once had open case with VR agency, contact state lead.
• Maximize energy to problem solve
Person wants Assign Ticket contacts the respective Navigator
1. Need to find out if assignable & if has/had case with VR
2. Schedule an appt with the person
3. Determine where one stop can best meet customer needs
4. If workforce, then DPN write the work plan
Individual Work Plan• A written agreement – 3 components employment
plan from iworks, IWP addendum & 18 month look back.
• Both are signed by the beneficiary and the EN • Describes employment and support services
needed to reach an employment goal • Becomes effective once:
• Maximus verifies the Ticket is assignable• IWP is signed by the beneficiary (or
representative) and EN representative• Faxed to Maximus by respective Navigator
Writing IWP
• Individualized training on using iworks to write the IWP (employment plan & addendum)
• Engage other services of the one stop
• Working with other partners for single plan protocol
• Required components
Reassignment or Involuntary Termination of
Ticket Assignment• A ticket holder can reassign his/her ticket. Needs to be done in
writing. Navigator has template they can use. • An EN can terminate a Ticket assignment at any time if a
beneficiary is not actively participating in his/her IWP:– The EN will notify MAXIMUS – MAXIMUS will notify the beneficiary
• Upon notification, the beneficiary may:– attempt to resume active participation if the EN is willing, – Reassign his/her Ticket to another EN, – Place his/her Ticket in Inactive Status, or– Withdraw from the TTWP altogether
