11.8.3 Regaining Full W-2 Payment

The participant is required to take another drug test at the end of the 12-month sanction period to determine whether they are eligible for a full W-2 Wisconsin Works payment.

The following table outlines the required W-2 Payment based on the drug test results.

Drug Test Result Resulting Sanction Negative The W-2 agency shall discontinue the drug felon payment reduction. Positive The pre-sanction payment will continue to be reduced by no more than 15% for no fewer than 12 months, or for the participant’s remaining period of participation in a CSJ Community Service Job or W-2 T W-2 Transition , if less than 12 months.

All subsequent payment reductions and drug test results will be treated in the same manner.

The W-2 agency may require an individual who has a positive drug test to participate in a drug abuse evaluation, assessment, and treatment program to meet their CSJ or W-2 T participation requirements.
