Wisconsin Department of Children and Families Emergency Assistance Manual |
After the W-2 agency determines that an IPV has occurred, the agency may decide to take additional enforcement action(s). The additional enforcement action(s) include:
A. Refer for possible criminal prosecution. The W-2 agency must communicate with its Corporation Counsel to discuss and establish thresholds and criteria regarding when to refer individuals to local law enforcement or the district attorney for consideration of possible criminal prosecution.
B. Obtain a Disqualification Consent Agreement. If the W-2 agency decides to refer an individual to the District Attorney for prosecution for civil or criminal misrepresentation or fraud, the agency may offer the individual the option to sign a consent agreement with the agency to defer the referral for prosecution. Individuals who choose to sign this waiver still receive an IPV penalty.
