using a ticket definition
using a ticket. ’ means that a beneficiary has assigned a ticket to an EN or a State VR agency acting as an EN, or has a ticket in VR cost reimbursement status, and the beneficiary is making timely progress toward self-supporting employment. (As explained above, under these final rules, a beneficiary’s ticket is in VR cost reimbursement status when the beneficiary has a ticket that would otherwise be available for assignment and is receiving VR services under an IPE from a State VR agency which has elected the VR cost reimbursement option.) Section 411.165 explains that we will not begin a CDR during the period in which a beneficiary is ‘‘using a ticket.’’
