2.9.1 Introduction

When appropriate, The W-2 Wisconsin Works applicants may be assigned to search for unsubsidized employment as a condition of eligibility. This is often referred to as an “up-front job search.”

If an applicant fails to participate in up-front job search requirements without good cause, the W-2 agency may deny the individual’s application.

In addition, W-2 participants may be required to look for employment. If a W-2 participant fails to cooperate with employment search requirements without good cause, the W-2 agency may close the participant’s case. (See 11.5.1 )
