Sec. 411.305  Who is eligible to be an EN?

    Any qualified agency or instrumentality of a State (or political 
subdivision thereof) or a private entity that assumes responsibility for 
the coordination and delivery of services under the Ticket to Work 
program to disabled beneficiaries is eligible to be an EN. A single 
entity or an association of or consortium of entities combining their 
resources is eligible to be an EN. The entity may provide these services 
directly or by entering into an agreement with other organizations or 
individuals to provide the appropriate services or other assistance that 
a beneficiary with a ticket may need to find and maintain employment 
that reduces dependency on disability benefits. ENs may include, but are 
not limited to:
    (a) Any public or private entity, including charitable and religious 
organizations, that can provide directly, or arrange for other 
organizations or entities to provide, employment services, vocational 
rehabilitation services, or other support services.

of the State plan approved under title I of the Rehabilitation Act of

basis, to be paid as an EN under the payment systems described in 
subpart H of this part. For the rules on State VR agencies'
