The program is available in English and Spanish. Upon enrollment, participating businesses receive materials to promote employee participation, with all remaining activities managed by the project team and program developer.
There are no long-term contracts or commitments required from businesses that enroll. The cost of employee participation is covered by a research study affiliated with the project. As part of this study, individuals complete five brief online surveys over the course of 12 months during which they have access to the EX program. All participating individuals receive a personalized quit plan with interactive exercises, educational videos, and email support. Agencies must explore all reasonable accommodations available to the employee as well as reemployment opportunities within their agency before forwarding them to CMS.
Upon approval alternative position titles are recommended for the employee to establish eligibility. Titles recommended may only represent lateral or downward appointments. Applicants who meet the requirements for the selected position titles are issued an AE grade and their name is placed on the AE eligibility list for the titles and counties selected.
AE grades are valid for a two 2 year period and candidates can only participate in the program for a maximum of two years. AE candidates who decline to be interviewed or refuse an offer of employment will be disqualified from continued participation in the program. AE candidates who accept a position through the program must resign from their leave of absence position in order to complete a six-month probationary period or an approved training period for trainee titles.
All existing AE grades are no longer valid. Back to Disability Workers Program.
