California Workers' Compensation · Vocational Return-to-Work Counseling

What this system does

VRWTC supports the counselor side of California's Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit (SJDB) voucher for injuries on or after January 1, 2013. It runs the four-step workflow:

  1. Intake & restriction assessment — capture PTP/QME restrictions verbatim.
  2. Voucher packet evaluation — confirm the packet and its required counselor list.
  3. ETPL cross-referencing — match training programs against restrictions and budget.
  4. Paperwork coordination — complete page 3 of the DWC-AD 10133.32 allocation.

VRWTC is an AI-assisted preparation tool. It is not an attorney and not a licensed California vocational return-to-work counselor. Program listings are drawn from CareerOneStop, which mirrors — and can lag — the California ETPL maintained in CalJOBS; confirm eligibility and pricing there and with the school before any voucher funds are committed.
