4.2.1 Verification of Eligibility Criteria Overview

To verify eligibility for Emergency Assistance, use the verification sources listed in sections 4.2 and 4.3. All verification used must be current. The list of sources to verify an eligibility item is not exhaustive but provides a sampling of the possible sources. Written verification is preferable to oral verification and should consist of a reliable report from an independent source (i.e. third-party) whenever possible.

If the applicant is experiencing more than one type of emergency and is requesting an EAEmergency Assistance payment for more than one type of emergency at the time of application, the W-2Wisconsin Works agency must request verification related to all emergency types.
