Administration of Order of Selection

Monitoring and Oversight

• State Implementation: California has adopted specific policy requiring the VR agency to review at least annually the order of selection for all eligible individuals in priority categories, including those being served and those on the waiting list.

• The review must be conducted to assure that services are being provided on a statewide basis and the determination of priority category does not bar or discriminate against any eligible individual based on proscribed factors.

• If the Department’s review discloses the order of selection is barring or discriminating against any eligible individuals based on inappropriate factors, the Department must remedy that situation by promulgating emergency regulations within 90 days.
