This may include an evaluation to identify the type of vocational rehabilitation services which can help the employee to return to suitable employment. These services may involve changing the demands of the employee's usual job; assisting the employee to obtain new employment compatible with his/her abilities; or training the employee for a new occupation. When the employee is a qualified injured worker, all vocational rehabilitation costs are paid by the employer or its insurer. The employee continues to receive temporary disability indemnity payments during the period of entitlement to vocational rehabilitation services. The employee has the right to choose whether he/she will accept the provision of vocational rehabilitation services. Regardless of the employee's choice, other workers' compensation benefits will not be affected. If the employee declines rehabilitation benefits now, he/she may be able to request future consideration of these benefits within statutory time limits. The request must be in writing and submitted to the Rehabilitation Unit within one year of either a finding of permanent disability or approval of a compromise and release by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, or within 5 years from the date of injury.
