If you are selected for an employment interview and you require the assistance of your long-term support at the interview you authorize the Long Term Support identified in the Supplemental Questionnaire to participate in the interviewing process and disclose to the hiring agency or their designee any information about the form, frequency, and scope of employment support that you will receive from them for the purposes of determining your eligibility for this SESG position.
If you do not require assistance from your long-term support at the interview, after the interview, if you are the selected candidate for the SESG position as part of the hiring process, you agree to provide the employer with your written long-term support plan that has been mutually agreed upon with your long term supports as to how they will be assisting you with maintaining this job.
The plan will include contact information regarding who the employer and/or the candidate can contact should there be any questions or need for support with the plan during the SESG selection process and if the applicant is selected for the position, for the length of the SESG employees employment. The long-term support plan (plan is kept on file with the supervisor and a copy is given to the employee) continues to be a resource to the agency and the employee for the length of the SESG employees employment and is used for annual verification for SESG continued eligibility.
An employee who is hired then ceases to meet all of the SESG Program eligibility criteria will no longer be employed.
