The process for reopening a previous pre-employment transition services case for a student with a disability (SWD), aged 14-21, enrolled in an educational program earning a recognized credential is as follows:

 

1. Student’s case was closed but student remains eligible for pre-employment transition services(Pre-ETS): For example, the student and family indicated they are no longer interested in services or the pre-employment transition services coordinator is unable to maintain contact with the student and family despite sincere efforts to do so. This student was previously closed under either Pre-ets: No Longer Interested in Services or Pre-ets: Not Available for Services. When this student returns at a later date to reinitiate pre-employment transition services:

• Obtain a new Pre-ETS Consent and Release form and update any new information 
• Use the “Reopen Pre-ETS Eligible Case” button on the Case Home Screen
• Case must be reopened by an Office Director or Program Director

 

2. Student’s case was closed because the student became ineligible for pre-employment transition services: For example, the student dropped out or graduated and was previously closed under Pre-ets: No Longer Eligible for Pre-ets Services. When this student returns at a later date to reinitiate pre-employment transition services, having become an eligible student again:

• Obtain a new Pre-ETS Consent & Release Form
• Create a new case in QE2
