The Wisconsin Works (W-2) program is available to parents of minor children whose family income is below 115% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Each W-2 eligible participant meets with a Financial and Employment Planner (FEP), who helps the individual develop an employability plan.
W-2 PROGRAM: If you do not have enough money to pay your bills and you need help finding and keeping a job or help applying for SSI, you may be eligible for the Wisconsin Works (W-2) program. You may also be eligible for monthly cash payments while you work with the W-2 program to look for a job or do other activities that will help you get a job or SSI. W-2 offers:
1. Trial Jobs (TJ): If you need extra help finding a job, you may be eligible for a Trial Job. Under Trial Jobs, an employer pays you directly. The W-2 agency gives the employer money to cover the costs of your training.
2. Community Service Jobs (CSJ): If you need work experience to help you prepare for work, you may get a CSJ. CSJs pay a monthly payments.
3. W-2 Transitions (W-2T): If you are not ready to look for work because you or an immediate family member is disabled, you may be eligible for a W-2 T.
4. Case Management: If you are ready for a job or you have a job and need help staying employed or getting the skills you need to get a job with more hours, pay, or benefits, you may be eligible for case management services. Case management is available for anyone who meets W-2 eligibility. There is no monthly payment for people getting case management services.
