Get Started

Please note that the DOR online application is temporarily unavailable. We’re currently working to improve and enhance your experience with our online application system. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we make these updates.

In the meantime, if you need assistance or would like to apply via phone or email or in person at a DOR office, please visit the Contact Us page and use our Office Locator tool to find the office closest to your home.

You can contact that office directly for general information, information on how to apply in person, or to request an application by mail or email. Reach out to your local office and DOR staff will guide you through the process.

The California Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) is here to assist you. We work with people who have disabilities to secure employment, develop or promote in their current job, and live independently in their community of choice.

Our staff will work with you based on your specific goals and needs. You are the most important person in this process. We will help you build a plan that’s right for you.

  • Reaching your goals will require collaboration from you. We will coach you along the way and may be able to help you with:

  • Disability and benefits programs

  • Job search and interview skills

  • Job training and tools

  • College and textbooks

  • Disability equipment

  • Support services like childcare or transportation

  • Connecting you with other people or groups that may be able to help you

We will always respect you and your opinions. We will help you to understand the various options available to you as we work toward your goals.
