Vocational Rehabilitation Nevada

The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Nevada program can help you prepare for, find, and keep work. To get VR Nevada services you must have a physical or mental disability that makes it difficult for you to find and keep a job. If you are eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) based on your disability, you are generally eligible for VR Nevada services.

Services vary depending on the needs of each person. VR Nevada will work with you to figure out which services you need. You and a VR Nevada counselor will develop a plan to help you reach your work goals. Find your local VR Nevada office.

Ticket to Work

The Ticket to Work Program is designed to help people with disabilities find and keep work. If you are 18 – 64 years old and are getting SSI or SSDI benefits, you can use your Ticket to Work from the Social Security Administration. With this program, you can access employment-related services and supports from Employment Networks (ENs), including training, job placement, job coaching, and vocational assessments.
