must agree to and sign the individualized plan for employment (IPE) 
required under section 102(b) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 
amended (29 U.S.C. 722(b)). This requirement must be met in order for a 
beneficiary to assign or reassign his or her ticket to the State VR 
agency. Section 411.140(d) describes the other requirements which must 
be met in order for a beneficiary to assign a ticket. Section 411.150(a) 
and (b) describe the other requirements which must be met in order for a 
beneficiary to reassign a ticket. Under Sec. 411.140(d)(3) and Sec. 
411.150(b)(4), the State VR agency must submit the following information 
to the PM in order for the beneficiary's ticket to be assigned or 
reassigned to the State VR AGENCY:
    (1) A statement that the beneficiary has decided to assign or 
reassign the ticket to the State VR agency and that an IPE has been 
agreed to and signed by both the beneficiary and a representative of the 
State VR agency;
    (2) A statement of the vocational goal outlined in the beneficiary's 
IPE; and
    (3) A statement of the State VR agency's selection of the payment 
system (either the cost reimbursement payment system or the previously 
elected EN payment system) under which the State VR agency will seek 
payment for providing services to the beneficiary.
    (b) This information must be submitted to the PM in a format 
prescribed by us and must include the signatures of both the 
beneficiary, or a representative of the beneficiary, and a 
representative of the State VR agency.
