2.10.6.8.1 CMD Placements

When a participant is denied a time limit extension or the participant declines a time limit extension for either the 24-month placement time limit or 48-month state lifetime limit, the FEP Financial and Employment Planner must offer the CMD Case Management Denied placement.

The CMD placement is a case management placement for individuals who have reached their time limit and are no longer eligible for a paid placement.

The goals of the CMD placement are to:

Help connect the individual to employment;

Connect the individual and family to services in the community; and

Reassess on a monthly basis whether the individual should receive a time limit extension.

To be eligible for the CMD Case Management Denied placement, the participant must meet W-2 Wisconsin Works financial and nonfinancial eligibility criteria, with the exception of exceeding the 24-month placement time limit or 48-month state lifetime limit.

Services provided to a CMD participant will depend largely on the:

Reason for the time limit extension denial or the participant’s decision to decline the extension; and

Participant’s placement at the time of the extension denial or decline.

Participants who were denied a time limit extension due to nonparticipation should be reassessed to determine which activity assignments will best match the participant's needs and help the participant increase participation. These assignments may be similar to those assigned during their W-2 employment position placement.

FEP Financial and Employment Planner s must meet with CMD Case Management Denied participants weekly.

Every 30 days, the FEP must meet with the participant (see 1.4.2.4 ) to review the CMD placement. During the meeting, the FEP must reassess the case to:

Determine whether the participant has consistently participated and reassess whether barriers to employment exist; and

Reconsider whether the individual is appropriate for a time limit extension.

The FEP must thoroughly document in PIN comments the details of the:

Weekly meetings;

30-day reassessment process; and

Reason(s) the participant is going to remain in the CMD placement, if that is the FEP’s decision.
