The Honorable, The Legislature:
We have completed a review of Wisconsin Works (W-2) program expenditures, based on our preliminary work to complete a comprehensive program evaluation by July 2000. W-2 is a time-limited employment assistance program that replaced the cash entitlements through Aid to Families with Dependent Children on September 1, 1997. It is administered by the Department of Workforce Development, which has contracted with 75 counties, private agencies, and tribes for local program implementation. From September 1997 through August 1998, expenditures for statewide implementation of W-2 totaled $188.4 million. Contractors expended an additional $28.7 million in state and federal funding on start-up activities to prepare for program implementation.
