Wisconsin Department of Children and Families Wisconsin Works (W-2) Manual |
W-2 participants whose incarceration renders them temporarily unable to participate in work activities or retain care and control of their children will remain eligible for W-2 payments for up to 30 days, provided they remain otherwise financially and nonfinancially eligible. Incarcerated W-2 participants who are unable to participate in work activities or retain care and control of their child(ren) for more than 30 consecutive calendar days are not eligible for W-2 payments. The 30-day timeframe allows for short-term incarceration without having to disenroll and then re-enroll the participant that would disrupt the activities, payments and child care.
For more information on incarceration of W-2 participants, see 11.7.1.
History: Release 20-01.
