Background The mission of Inspirations is to support
individuals in mental health recovery in achieving independence, developing life skills, contributing to their community, and enjoying quality of life. To achieve this mission, Inspirations offers a number of recovery-oriented and employment services through its PROS program. Recently, Inspirations became a certified Employment Network (EN) and has started getting ready to provide EN services through its PROS program.

Case example # 1: Michael Michael is a 30-year old male that started receiving services at
Inspirations in 2008. Michael has little work experience and has been unemployed for the last 6 years. Michael currently receives SSI benefits along with Medicaid insurance. Michael has been receiving Community Rehabilitation and Support (CRS) services from Inspirations’ PROS program for the past two years. Until recently he had not considered work because he thought he would lose all his benefits, but a month ago he heard that this is not true. So now he is very motivated to become employed again. One of Michael’s goals is to live independently and he would like to find a job to help him accomplish this goal. As Michael does not have much work experience, his current goal is to work part-time in a job where he can make between $800-$900/month. He has never received VESID services and is not interested in applying for VESID right now. He has begun submitting applications at local retail stores and has an interview for a job at a grocery store next week.

Case Example # 2: Mollie Mollie is a 45-year old female that came to Inspirations to see if
she can receive help returning to work. Mollie currently receives $950/month in SSDI benefits along with Medicare insurance. She has never received services from VESID. Mollie has an associate’s degree in paralegal studies and worked for several years in a variety of legal service jobs. She was approved for SSDI benefits in 2005 due to her mental health disability and had been out of work for the last six years until recently. Mollie found a job working for a local law office. She was employed from June through August in 2010, but lost the job due to conflicts with her supervisor. This was her first job since going onto SSDI benefits. Mollie believes, along with her therapist, that working can help her in her process of recovery and that she can be a successful paralegal again. Mollie is very interested in searching for a part-time job (10-15 hrs/wk) in local law office (at $20/hour).

1. When an individual has a VESID case OPEN, the Ticket is considered “in use” and it cannot be assigned to an EN
2. After VR case is formally closed, then the beneficiary can assign Ticket to an EN
3. If the VR case is closed successfully, then Phase One payments are NOT available
4. If the VR case is NOT closed successfully, then ALL Ticket payments may still be available

Case example # 3: Cody Cody is a 40-year old that was referred to Inspirations for
continuing employment support. Cody currently receives SSI benefits and Medicaid insurance. Cody has worked with VESID over the last three years and received vocational training to become an auto mechanic. Four months ago Cody got a job working at a body shop part-time where he earns $800 per/month and his case was successfully closed with VESID. Cody, however, would still like additional support because he has trouble getting along with his coworkers and sometimes feels overwhelmed with his job responsibilities. Additionally, Cody would like to work full-time in the future so that he can save to buy a car.
