Lesson 7: Extended Services

Once you believe the supported employee is stable on the job, you send in the final Employment Stability Assessment and the Extended Services Plan.  Once the Counselor approves the move into “stable employment,” you transition into Extended Services, and they will send you the authorization for the Day 1 payment of $500.00.

Once they sign/approve the Day 1 Extended Service Plan, you start the “count” of days of stable employment for the purpose of the milestone payments.

SCCC 135: Senior Villages – Final Thoughts

Senior villages can be a great option for seniors who want to live independently in their communities. The services and activities offered by the senior village can be just the thing that makes that possible.

Let’s take a brief quiz to see how much you’ve learned.

SCCC 135: Senior Villages – An Introduction

Senior villages may be a term you’ve heard, but are not familiar with. Maybe there is a senior village in your community. What happens in a senior village that is different than in other community settings? What can I do if I think there should be a senior village in my community? This course will answer these questions and more.

Before you begin, let’s take a brief quiz about senior villages. Remember, nobody is judging you.

Lesson 6: Benefits Branch Standard Operating Procedures

“This portion of the training provides an overview of the policies that govern the Benefits Branch. Employees must learn and understand these policies, and accurately apply them when performing day-to-day work responsibilities.

The most current SOPs can be found on the DCBS public drive: \eas.ds.ky.govdfsOR0372Publicdcbs.

Standard operating procedures tend to be a long read, so we’ve included a brain break halfway through. It’s important to remember these documents ensure the laws are implemented fairly and consistently across the Commonwealth.

Before we get started, let’s watch a short video on standard operating procedures and why they are essential for state agencies.”
