If it is in the best interest of the participant, the hours to be worked in the CWEP assignment can be reduced by the hours the client is assigned to another work activity.
7. Work Site Monitoring: The ESW will provide on-going monitoring of the CWEP placement.
a. On-going monitoring will include a monthly review of the Attendance & Performance Rating Sheet (032-02-1010) received from the work site supervisor by the 5th day of the month following the report month. Based on the review, the ESW will work with the work site supervisor and the client to resolve any issues affecting the placement.
b. The ESW will conduct a formal reassessment with the participant every three months. In preparation for the reassessment, the worker will contact the work site supervisor to determine if the client’s performance is satisfactory. If the client is not satisfactorily performing the duties of the position, the ESW will work with the supervisor to identify the specific duties not being performed, the reason for the unacceptable performance, and ways to improve the participant’s performance.
c. The worker will remove the participant from the CWEP placement for misconduct or violation of the work site’s policies at any time based on the request of the work site.
8. Workers’ Compensation
VIEW participants not eligible for Medicaid who are participating in the CWEP component are deemed to be employees of the Commonwealth for purposes of the Workers’ Compensation Act. Such persons shall be eligible for reimbursement for medical costs if the injury is covered under the Workers’ Compensation Act, but shall not be eligible to receive weekly compensation.*
a. If a claim is accepted, Workers’ Compensation will pay medical costs for services provided by a panel physician as authorized by the Workers’ Compensation Act for covered injuries only.
(1) The VIEW participant should notify her medical provider that she is seeking attention for a workers’ compensation claim and request medical providers to submit medical reports and bills for covered injuries to Managed Care Innovations (MCI).
(2) MCI will review the medical report, confirm the treatment is related to a covered injury and remit payment to the medical provider for services of the covered injury.
b. Local agencies who assign VIEW participants not eligible for Medicaid to CWEP placements must follow these steps to ensure proper coverage in the event of an accident on the job.
