Or. Admin. Code § 582-070-0040 - Repossession/Disposition of Non-Expendable Property

(1) For tools, supplies, equipment, vehicles, etc., funded by OVRS and needed by the individual for employment at time of closure as employed (from Individualized Plan for Employment or post-employment services), ownership or title is transferred to the individual.

(2) If an individual is closed as 'other than rehabilitated', or if tools, supplies, equipment, vehicles, etc., are not needed while the individual is receiving plan services or not needed by the individual employed at the time of a successful closure, where practical and appropriate, such property shall be repossessed and reassigned or otherwise disposed of by OVRS if this property was funded by OVRS and has a current aggregate value of $1000 or more:

(a) For such property with a current aggregate value under $1000, the counselor may agree to transfer the property to the ownership of the individual. Such agreements are only valid if the agreement is written. If there is no such agreement, the counselor shall make a reasonable effort to repossess the property through voluntary cooperation by the involved individual, individual's family or other individual who may be in current possession of said property, including small claims court; and

(b) For property with current values estimated to be $1000 or more in the aggregate, OVRS may pursue, if necessary, other available legal means to regaining such property, or its equivalent value, including obtaining advice or assistance from the office of the attorney general.

(3) Any property funded by OVRS that has been purchased via prescription (such as glasses, hearing aids, wheelchairs) may be retained by the individual, with justification at closure documented in the individual's record.
