View Rule

We are removing these rules from the CFR because they are obsolete and no longer necessary. We are also revising other sections in the CFR to remove references to the Alternate Participant Program.

Under the rules of the Alternate Participant Program, if a State vocational rehabilitation agency would not serve a beneficiary we referred, we could use other public or private agencies, organizations, institutions, or individuals (referred to as alternate participants) to provide rehabilitation services. Consistent with section 101(d)(5) of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999, we phased out the use of alternate participants as we implemented the Ticket to Work Program. Under the Alternate Participant Program rules, we cannot pay an alternate participant for services provided on or after January 1, 2004.
