VESID, an office of the New York State Education Department, each year offers thousands of New Yorkers who have a disability an opportunity to become independent through education, training and employment. We provide vocational rehabilitation services to eligible individuals to prepare them for suitable jobs. These jobs might be in the competitive work force, in self-owned businesses, in supported employment on employer sites, or in sheltered workshops. We can also help people with disabilities who are having difficulty keeping their jobs. VESID can also help you live as independently as possible by referring you to a local Independent Living Center.

Digital Hearing Aids: Purchase of analog hearing aids will be considered when justified and not paid by any other benefits. Digital hearing aids, while they may provide a superior result for the individual, can be purchased by VESID only when the technology is specifically required by the individual to achieve his or her vocational goal. Cost sharing with the individual is acceptable, as long as VESID costs do not exceed the cost of standard hearing aids
