Authorizations

The following is a high-level outline of the process for receiving business. First, there is a referral, then an authorization is completed. Community Partners provides the services and reports back to SSB staff on the progress of the customer.
- When an individual needs services outside what VR program staff will provide, the VR program staff person will offer individuals a choice of Community Partners who can support their needs.
- Once an individual in the program chooses a Community Partner, VR staff will provide individual referral information to the Community Partner.
- Community Partner staff and SSB staff work closely together to coordinate services for the individual.
- After a referral is made, SSB staff create an "Authorization" to purchase the service. After the Community Partner receives the referral and authorization, the services can begin.
- SSB offers templates for invoices and reports to assist with accurate and timely billing that complies with SSB policies for payment of these contracted services.
