You have been determined eligible for this nontransferable, Supplemental Job Displacement Voucher. This voucher may be used for the payment of tuition, fees, books, and other expenses required by a state approved or accredited school that you enroll in for the purpose of education related retraining or skill enhancement, or both.

The state approved or accredited school will be reimbursed upon receipt of a documented invoice for tuition, fees, books and other required expenses required by the school for retraining or skill enhancement. If you pay for the eligible expenses, you may be reimbursed for these expenses upon submission of documented receipts. No more than 10 percent of the value of this voucher may be used for vocational or return to work counseling. If you decide to voluntarily withdraw from a program, you may not be entitled to a full refund of the voucher amount utilized.

Please present this original letter to the state approved or accredited school and/or the Vocational & Return to Work Counselor of your choice, chosen from the list developed by the Division of Workers' Compensation's Administrative Director, in order to initiate your training and return to work counseling.
