Updated Guidance for Use of DORS Offices
March 10, 2022
The information below provides guidance regarding in-person meetings with consumers and the use of DORS offices.
Consumer Meetings with DORS Counselor:
At this time, DORS staff may meet with consumers in their individual offices IF there is enough room to comfortably social distance.
- Consumers and staff are welcome to wear a mask when meeting in-person.
- If there is not enough space in the counselor's office to maintain social distance, then the counselor may reserve the office conference room for consumer meetings.
- Meetings that include more than the counselor and the consumer should be held in the conference room.
Provider Use of DORS offices:
At this time, Providers may see more than one consumer (upon consumer agreement) at a time in the DORS field office IF space permits them to do so while maintaining social distance.
- For example, a career evaluator may meet with more than one person at a time in a large conference room that allows the consumers to be at least 6 feet apart.
- Alternatively, if unused/vacant office space and/or a resource room is available, then the provider may meet with one consumer in each available office.
- Please be sure to call the individual offices to determine whether space is available.
- Please contact the individual offices with any questions or concerns.
