Sec. 411.150  Can I reassign my ticket to a different EN or the State 
VR agency?

    (a) Yes. If you previously assigned your ticket and your ticket is 
no longer assigned (see Sec. 411.145) or you wish to change the 
assignment, you may reassign your ticket, unless you are receiving 
benefit payments under Sec. 404.316(c), Sec. 404.337(c), Sec. 
404.352(d) or Sec. 404.1597a of this chapter, or you are receiving 
disability or blindness benefit

payments under Sec. 416.996 or Sec. 416.1338 of this chapter (the 
provisions of paragraph (b)(3) of this section notwithstanding). If you 
previously assigned your ticket to an EN, you may reassign your ticket 
to a different EN which is serving under the program and is willing to 
provide you with services, or you may reassign your ticket to the State 
VR agency if you are eligible to receive VR services according to 34 CFR 
361.42. If you previously assigned your ticket to the State VR agency, 
you may reassign your ticket to an EN which is serving under the program 
and is willing to provide you with services or to another State VR 
agency if you are eligible to receive services according to 34 CFR 
361.42.
    (b) In order for you to reassign your ticket to an EN or State VR 
agency, all of the following requirements must be met:
    (1) Your ticket must be unassigned. If your ticket is assigned to an 
EN or a State VR agency, you must first tell the PM in writing that you 
want to take your ticket out of assignment (see Sec. 411.145).
    (2)(i) You and a representative of the new EN must agree to and sign 
a new IWP; or
    (ii) If you wish to reassign your ticket to a State VR agency, you 
and a representative of the State VR agency must agree to and sign both 
an IPE and a form that provides the information described in Sec. 
411.385(a)(1), (2) and (3).
    (3) You must meet the requirements of Sec. 411.125(a)(1) and (2) on 
or after the day you and a representative of the new EN sign your IWP or 
you and a representative of the State VR agency sign your IPE and the 
required form, except if--
    (i) Your ticket is not in use (see Sec. 411.170 et seq.) and the 
requirements of paragraph (b)(2) of this section are met within 30 days 
of the effective date your ticket no longer was assigned to the previous 
EN or State VR agency (see Sec. 411.145); or
    (ii) Your ticket is in use (see Sec. 411.170 et seq.) and the 
requirements of paragraph (b)(2) of this section are met before the end 
of the 3-month extension period described in Sec. 411.220.
    (4) A representative of the EN must submit a copy of the signed IWP 
to the PM or a representative of the State VR agency must submit the 
completed and signed form (as described in Sec. 411.385(a) and (b)) to 
the PM.
    (5) The PM must receive the copy of the IWP or received the required 
form, as appropriate.
    (c) If all of the requirements in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this 
section are met, we will consider your ticket reassigned to the new EN 
or State VR agency. The effective date of the reassignment of your 
ticket will be the first day on which the requirements of paragraphs (a) 
and (b)(1), (2) and (3) of this section are met. See Sec. Sec. 411.160 
through 411.225 for an explanation of how reassigning your ticket may 
affect medical reviews that we conduct to determine if you are still 
disabled under our rules.
