Successful Disability Opportunities Program

The Successful Disability Opportunities Program provides persons with disabilities a greater access to employment opportunities with the State.

Applicants must be a customer of the Division of Rehabilitation Services and have a Certificate of Eligibility completed by their Department of Human Services Division of Rehabilitation Services vocational rehabilitation counselor for each title on file at the time of testing.

Vocational Counselors will complete a detailed narrative and include any titles the applicant is pursuing. The narrative will be placed on record with the CMS Disabled Workers Coordinator to complete SD enrollment and verification. (A detailed resume is requested.)

Immediately upon completion of the test and receiving a passing grade, in addition to their open competitive grade, their SD grade will be issued.

SD grades are valid for one year.

An agency may request the SD eligible list when there is a vacancy to be filled by other means.

To enroll, contact DHS Department of Rehabilitation Services to establish a Vocational Rehabilitation case. Locate the nearest office.

DHS Vocational Rehabilitation referral can also be completed online. Submit the Form.
