Youths under 24

Youth with disabilities who are 24 years or younger are prohibited from working under the 14(c) certificate based on regulations under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).

The Vocational Services, Mobile Workforce and Community Living Engagement participants fall under these regulations.

If the person is younger than 24 years old, a letter from the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) stating the person is either ineligible for its services or has received services and the case has been closed must be included with the admissions application.

The purpose is to ensure youth with disabilities have met the following:

Applied to DRS, had an Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) and worked toward an employment outcome for a reasonable period without success AND DRS has closed the case
Received career counseling and referrals to programs and other resources in the area
