4.1.5.1.2 State Wage Information Collection Agency Process

The quarterly SWICA State Wage Information Collection Agency DX Data Exchange compares wage and income information provided by Wisconsin employers with information entered on the CWW CARES Worker Web Earned Income page. A discrepancy occurs if the monthly SWICA income plus other income budgeted for that month exceeds 115% of FPL for two consecutive months in a quarter. The FEP must update the earned income information on the Employment Queries page necessary to complete case processing before running eligibility and confirming W-2. (See 4.1.5.2 )

Because SWICA matches may not happen until participants have been open for several months, FEP Financial and Employment Planner s should use the CWW Employment Queries page when processing intakes, reviews, program adds, and person adds to determine if applicants and participants are correctly reporting income and employment.
