Transform Milwaukee Jobs and Transitional Jobs programs
Under current law, DCF administers a temporary wage subsidy program for individuals who meet all of the following qualifications: 1) are at least 18 years old and, if over 25 years old, are the parent or primary relative caregiver of a child under the age of 18; 2) have a household income below 150 percent of the poverty line; 3) have been unemployed for at least four weeks; 4) are ineligible to receive unemployment insurance benefits; 5) are not participating in a Wisconsin Works employment position; and 6) satisfy applicable substance abuse screening, testing, and treatment requirements.
The bill modifies the qualifications for participating in the program by removing the requirement that the individual has been unemployed for at least four weeks, and by specifying that anyone who is not receiving unemployment insurance benefits, regardless of their eligibility to receive those benefits, may participate.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 49.163 (2) (am) 4. of the statutes is repealed.
Section
