Employment Plan
Effective date: October 10, 2018
An employment plan identifies a participant's employment goals, appropriate achievement objectives (i.e., action steps) and combination of services that will help the individual achieve his/her employment goals. (WIOA sec. 134(c)(2)(A)(xii)(II); 20 CFR § 680.170)
Public Assistance
Effective date: August 20, 2018
Revised date: September 1, 2020
"Public Assistance" means federal, state, or local government cash payments where eligibility is determined by a needs or income test.
As WIOA does not define "cash payments," DWD-DET used definitions provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to define "cash payments" as cash or a cash equivalent, such as a debit card or check, that can be spent however the recipient choses, and is not restricted to a specific purpose like groceries or childcare.
