The executive director of the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation shall prescribe
administrative regulations governing the services, personnel, and
administration of the State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency; may enter into
reciprocal agreements with other states to provide for the vocational
rehabilitation of residents of the states concerned; may establish and supervise
the operation of small businesses established pursuant to KRS 151B.180 to
151B.210 to be conducted by eligible individuals with severe disabilities; and
may establish state funded special programs for vocational rehabilitation in the
state vocational rehabilitation agency.
Except as provided in KRS 151B.190, the executive director may prescribe
administrative regulations to establish fees for services provided to individuals
or entities, public or private.
The executive director is authorized to provide liability insurance or an
indemnity bond against the negligence of drivers of motor vehicles owned or
operated by the office for the transportation of applicants or clients of the office.
If the transportation is let out under contract, the contract shall require the
contractor to carry an indemnity bond or liability insurance against negligence
to such amounts as the executive director designates. In either case, the
indemnity bond or insurance policy shall be issued by a surety or insurance
company authorized to transact business in this state, and shall bind the
company to pay any final judgment not to exceed the limits of the policy
rendered against the insured for loss or damage to property of any applicant or
client or other person, or death or injury of any applicant or client or other
person.
The provisions of any other statute notwithstanding, the executive director is
authorized to use receipt of funds from the Social Security reimbursement
program for a direct service delivery staff incentive program. Incentives may be
awarded if case service costs are reimbursed for job placement of Social
Security or Supplemental Security Income recipients at the Substantial Gainful
Activity (SGA) level for nine (9) months pursuant to 42 U.S.C. sec. 422 and
under those conditions and criteria as are established by the federal
reimbursement program.
