In plain language
Who qualifies, by reference to determinations other bodies have already made. The division issues guidelines, and they may include a person who is or has been a client of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services, or who meets the eligibility requirements for Social Security Disability Insurance, among the other criteria the section sets out. Leaning on existing determinations means an applicant is not asked to prove a disability from scratch to a body with no expertise in assessing one.

Current through the close of the 221st Legislature (L. 2025, c. 346). What that means
Enacted by L. 2021, c. 465, effective May 1, 2022. Never amended since.
A New Jersey statute changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
