Wisconsin Department of Children and Families Wisconsin Works (W-2) Manual |
If the W-2 two-parent household is not receiving Wisconsin Shares, the second parent is not required to participate in W-2 activities. However the second parent may volunteer to participate to W-2 activities that are suggested by, but not required by, the W-2 agency. If the second parent chooses to voluntarily participate in W-2 activities, the W-2 agency must provide the second parent an opportunity to participate in W-2 activities.
The FEP must work with both parents to identify activities, taking into consideration the schedules of the parents and children in order to accommodate the fact that the family is not receiving Wisconsin Shares.
EXAMPLE: Leticia and Tom Smith are part of a W-2 two-parent household with their children and are receiving W-2 services. The Smiths are not receiving Wisconsin Shares. Tom is placed in a CSJ and is participating in work training experience from 8:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The family has two children who are in school from 8:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. From 9:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday while the children are in school, Leticia may volunteer for W-2 activities that are suggested by, although not required by, the FEP to help Leticia progress toward unsubsidized employment.
History: There are no previous versions of this policy.
