Wisconsin Works
The Wisconsin Works (W-2) program under current law provides work experience and monetary benefits for low-income custodial parents who are at least 18 years old; monetary benefits for certain unmarried pregnant women and low-income custodial parents of infants eight weeks of age or less; and job search assistance to noncustodial parents who are required to pay child support, to minor custodial parents, and to certain pregnant women who are not eligible for monetary benefits under the program. W-2 is administered, generally, by W-2 agencies under contracts with DCF. W-2 provides work experience to a participant through placement in one of a number of different employment positions, depending on the participant's skills, training, and experience. For one of the employment positions, called trial jobs, a W-2 agency pays a wage subsidy to a private employer that employs a W-2 participant and that agrees to retain the participant as a permanent employee when the subsidy ends. This bill terminates the trial job employment position and replaces it with a trial employment match program (TEMP) that has the same features as the trial job employment position, except for a few changes to current law.
Under current law, a W-2 agency pays an employer a wage subsidy of not more than $300 per month for full-time employment of a participant in a trial job. Under the bill, in TEMP the W-2 agency and employer will negotiate the wage subsidy, which will be paid for every hour that the participant actually works, up to 40 hours per week, and which may not be less than the applicable minimum wage. In addition, the W-2 agency may, as negotiated between the W-2 agency and the employer, reimburse the employer for all or a portion of other costs associated with employment of the participant, such as federal social security and Medicare taxes and worker's compensation insurance premiums. Currently, a participant may work in a trial job for up to three months, with a possible three-month extension. The bill changes the maximum time in a TEMP job to up to six months, with a possible three-month extension. Currently, an employer that employs a participant in a trial job must agree to make a good faith effort to retain the participant as a permanent unsubsidized employee after the wage subsidy under the trial job ends. For TEMP the bill adds that, if the employer does not retain the participant, the employer must serve as an employment reference for the participant or must provide the W-2 agency with a written performance evaluation with recommendations for improvement.
In addition to the replacement of trial jobs with TEMP, the bill repeals the real work, real pay employment position in W-2, which was a pilot project that ended on December 31, 2009. The bill eliminates the subsidized private sector employment program, under which participants were to be paid minimum wage for work in certain projects. The program's operation was dependent on certain conditions and it was never implemented. The bill also eliminates the workforce attachment and advancement program, which provided funding to W-2 agencies and local workforce development boards for providing certain job-related services to individuals eligible for federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program funds. The workforce attachment and advancement program has not received TANF funding or operated since 2003.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
