5.3.7 Eligibility Ending During an Activity Break Period

Parents can continue their Activity Break Period for the remainder of the 3-month period if Wisconsin Shares eligibility ends but reopens within one (1) calendar month during an Activity Break Period. For processing instructions for this scenario, see Process Help 76.1.5.  

Note: Even if the parent has an expected return date following a temporary break, the agency worker must not end the TBRK period in CWW until the parent reports that they have returned to their approved activity. Circumstances could change before the parent returns to their approved activity which would require different worker action and create duplicate work. The same policy applies to authorizations (see 17.2.3).

 

Example: On August 20, Jolene reports that she is going on maternity leave starting August 22 and indicates that she should be returning to work on September 28. The agency worker updates her Approved Activity Status to TBRK for September. The agency worker should leave the TBRK period as September 1 – November 30 until Jolene reports that she has returned to work.
