FAQs

What are Special Conditions?

Special conditions exist when a worker receives supports or services from someone other than an employer, potentially subsidizing the worker's ability to perform SGA. Vocational Rehabilitation or job coach services provided to workers are a strong indication that the work is subsidized. In cases where special conditions are being provided to the worker, the subsidy is determined by the following activities:

  • Comparing the time, energies, skills, and responsibilities of the worker with a disability to workers without known disabilities performing the same or similar work;
  • Estimating the proportionate value of such services according to the worker's pay scale for his/her work; and
  • Determining how often the job coach monitors or supports the person and how intensively job coach services remain overtime.
