Wisconsin Shares Handbook
Participation in basic education is an approved activity for Wisconsin Shares. Basic education includes English as a second language courses; literacy tutoring; General Education Development (GED); or High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED).
Note: If the parent is younger than age 20 and is enrolled in high school or is pursuing a General Education Development (GED) or High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED), see Section 5.1.2.1. |
The local agency must determine that participation in basic education will facilitate the individual’s efforts to maintain employment and document this decision in case comments (see 12.1).
Receipt of child care subsidy for basic education is limited to 24 months during the lifetime of the parent. Only the months that the parent is using child care subsidy for education count towards the 24-month time limit. Exact dates of participation must be recorded on the CSAW Parent Education Tracking page under the Basic Education Tracker (see 5.1.2.5).
