Wisconsin Shares Handbook
Parents have seven (7) business days from the mailing date of the Notice of Proof Needed to submit the needed verification to the local agency. If verification has not been received within seven (7) business days, the local agency must run eligibility to generate a Notice of Eligibility informing the parent that Wisconsin Shares has been denied or will be ending.
Parents may request more time to provide verification if they are unable to provide verification by the due date. On a case-by-case basis, agency workers may allow an extension of a maximum of 30 calendar days from the application filing date or renewal due date. If neither the applicant nor the local agency can get the required verification by the 30th day from the application or renewal due date, eligibility must be denied (see 3.7). For verification requested during ongoing eligibility, the verification due date can be extended to a maximum of 30 calendar days from the mailing date of the Notice of Proof Needed if needed on a case-by-case basis.
The need for more time may be an indication to the agency worker that the applicant requires assistance (see 7.1).
