Is DORS Right for Me?

Are DORS Servic​es right for you? Ask​ yourself these questions:​​

"I have a disability or serious health condition."

If your answer is "No," then DORS is not right for you. If you don't have a disability or serious illness, your local American Job Center​ may be able to help with your job search​.

"My disability or serious health condition makes it hard for me to get or keep a job."

If your answer is "No," then DORS may not be right for you. To be eligible for DORS services, your disability or illness must make it hard for you to get or keep a job.

"I want a job."

If your answer is "No," then DORS may not be right for you. DORS helps people with disabilities who want to work.

"I need a job immediately."

If your answer is "Yes," then DORS may not be right for you. DORS is not an employment agency. DORS helps prepare people with disabilities to go to work or stay working. This can take many months. If you need a job immediately, your local American Job Center​ may be able to help.

"I have the time and I am interested in ma​king a plan for getting a job."

If your answer is "No," then DORS may not be right for you. DORS assists job seekers with disabilities to get ready to work and find a job. This is a partnership between you and DORS and you and we work together to plan for your employment.

"I am looking for someone to help me take care of my basic needs (food, clothing and housing)."​​

If your answer is "Yes," then DORS may not be right for you. DORS does not pay for rent, mortgages, monthly utilities, insurance or food. If you are looking for help with basic living needs, please contact the United Way of Central Maryland.
