Example 3 (TRBK crossing renewal): Gabriella is in a TBRK period from September 1 – November 30, and her renewal date is October 31. When Gabriella calls on October 21 to complete her renewal, the agency worker leaves TBRK as her Approved Activity Status for November. Gabriella can remain in the TBRK period until November 30 (the end of the 3-month period) if she provides all other information necessary to complete her renewal.

Example 4 (TBRK, late renewal): Raquel is in a TBRK period from January 1 – March 31 and her renewal is due February 28. Raquel does not complete her renewal, and her Wisconsin Shares eligibility ends on February 28. On March 10, Raquel calls the local agency to complete her late renewal. Raquel’s renewal is completed with TBRK as her approved activity for March and Wisconsin Shares eligibility reopens for March. However, April and May eligibility will fail if Raquel does not have an approved activity entered in CWW for April.

Example 5 (TBRK beginning in renewal month): Billie calls on June 14 to complete her renewal that is due on June 30. At that time, she reports that she was temporarily laid off on May 20 but expects to return to work on July 10. Her TBRK period would be June 1 – August 31. Because the TBRK period begins the last month of her current eligibility period, the TBRK period can cross the renewal. The agency worker completes the renewal with “EMPL-Employment” as the approved activity on the Child Care Activity Status page. After all verification has been provided for the renewal and eligibility has been confirmed, the agency worker goes back to the Child Care Activity Status page to update the approved activity to TBRK and runs and confirms eligibility. The agency worker then goes to the Child Care Approved Activity Break Period page to verify that the dates of the TBRK period (June 1 – August 31) are correctly shown on that page.

Example 6 (ACTS beginning in renewal month): Trystan calls on February 19 to complete his February 28 renewal. He reports that he lost his job on January 25 and has not yet found a new approved activity. The ACTS period would be February 1 – April 30. Because the ACTS period begins the last month of Trystan’s current eligibility period, he is eligible for ACTS in February. However, since ACTS cannot cross renewal, he needs to be participating in a new approved activity before eligibility can open for March.

If a parent’s renewal is due on the last day of the Activity Break Period, the parent must have a new approved activity or a return to the same approved activity entered in CWW for the month following the renewal date for eligibility to continue.

Example 7 (Renewal due last day of ACTS period): Leonard is in an ACTS period from October 1 – December 31. Leonard’s renewal is also due on December 31. Leonard does not complete his renewal by December 31, and his Wisconsin Shares eligibility ends on December 31. On January 10, Leonard calls the local agency to complete his
