74 Example 2: Bill is receiving Wisconsin Shares and is working at Fitness World. In June, he reports that he started a new job at Smart Smoothies and is still employed at Fitness World. The agency worker creates a new Employment page for Smart Smoothies and pends for verification. Bill does not provide verification by the due date or request an extension. The agency worker updates the Employment page to indicate that verification was not received but does not update the Approved Activity page because Bill’s continued employment at Fitness World is not questionable.

If the parent is currently in an ACTS period and reports new employment, agency workers must pend for verification on the Employment page. The Child Care Activity Status page must only be updated after new employment is verified.

Agency workers must not end eligibility if the parent does not provide verification and has time remaining in the ACTS period.

Example 3: Jesse is receiving Wisconsin Shares and works at Emma’s Dry Cleaning. He has authorizations for his two (2) school-age children. In June, he is fired from his job. He reports this to the local agency and the agency worker changes the Approved Activity on the Child Care Activity Status page to ACTS. An ACTS period is established for July 1 – September 30. In August, Jesse reports that he started new employment at Lexi’s Candy Shop. The agency worker creates a new sequence for the Employment page in CWW and pends for verification. The agency worker does not update the Child Care Activity Status page. Jesse does not provide verification of his new employment. The agency worker enters “NV-Not Verified” on the Employment page in CWW but does not update the Child Care Activity Status page. Jesse’s ACTS period will remain in place until September 30.

A return to an approved activity during or following a Temporary Break Period (TBRK) does not need to be verified. Agency workers can update the Child Care Activity Status page after the parent reports they have returned if the parent returns before the end of the Activity Break Period established in CWW (see 5.3.6).
