DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Sumter, South Carolina, seeks a vendor to provide Veteran-Directed Care assessment, options counseling, intake, enrollment support, and related participant-centered services.

The vendor will also assist veterans and prospective caregivers with completing employer and employee enrollment packets, including required forms, signatures, and supporting documentation for establishing the veteran or authorized representative as an employer entity and enrolling workers for payroll processing. Complete, accurate, current, and secure records must be maintained for contacts, home visits, assessments, outcomes, referrals, services, barriers, and follow-up activities.
