Iowa's order of selection rules include a mechanism for providing vocational rehabilitation services and goods for maintaining employment to an individual on an order of selection wait list who is at immediate risk of job loss. See Iowa Admin. Code 281-56.3 (259) (defining "job retention waiting list") and 281-56.6 (1) c. (making job retention services available to eligible individuals).
