Vocational Rehabilitation Services
If your permanent disability restrictions prevent you from performing your previous job (even on an accommodated basis), you may be eligible for vocational rehabilitation. Vocational rehabilitation offers the following services:

Vocational evaluation––to help you determine your work-related strengths, aptitudes and interests
Career counseling––to help you consider different vocational goals or training options, and
Job readiness training––to help you prepare for a job search within or outside of Advocate.

The Disability Council will review your disability and determine if you’re eligible for the vocational rehabilitation program. If you’ve used all of your time off available under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and you’re eligible to participate in the vocational rehabilitation program but do not, you’ll be considered to have voluntarily ended your employment with Advocate. As such, you won’t be eligible to continue disability benefits.
