This Replaces
Previous Work Incentive Benefits Service definitions and reports.
Work Incentive Benefits Services were revised to assist consumers in managing the impact of higher earnings on their benefits and entitlements including participants in the Career Pathways Advancement grant, which will require more intensive services. The new service descriptions shift emphasis from a one-time, comprehensive benefits analysis service to a service that is delivered in a multi-step, progressive fashion. The changes are intended to present consumers with more manageable amounts of information, put more funds in the hands of the provider sooner, and increase consumers' confidence in their ability to manage the changes to their benefits resulting from earnings. While the new service has more steps built in, the authorization process was designed to be more intuitive for DVR staff.
The new technical specification, along with updated report templates and a recorded presentation are posted August 15. DVR will conduct internal training for DVR staff August 25 & 29, and host a Question and Answer session live for WIBS service providers August 31. WIBS service providers main contacts will be sent an invite to a Microsoft Teams meeting in advance of the August 31 meeting.
Please review the updated tech specs and reports and submit questions ahead of the Q&A session to andrzej.walzchojnacki@dwd.wisconsin.gov.
The following reports, updated to accompany the new technical specifications are available August 15.
