Non-Paid Work Activities Example 1: Ms. Daisy participated 41 hours in JR and 88 hours in VT. JR = 41 / 4.33 = 9.46 = 9 VT = 88 / 4.33 = 20.32 = 20 29 hours average participation per week Non-Paid Work Activities Example 2: Mr. Willow is required to complete 128 hours in a core activity. He actually participates 103 hours in JR and will receive 8 hours for federally designated holiday. Attached to his time sheet were 2 doctor’s statements for 16 hours of excused absences. Hours will be entered as follows:

103 ÷ 4.33 = 23.79 = 24 average hours/week attended 16 ÷ 4

= 4 average hours/week excused absence 8 ÷ 4 = 2 average hours/week for federal holidays

= 30 weekly average (24 + 4 + 2) 18.4.5.B.3 Case Recordings Appropriate case recordings are required in documenting participation hours for Work-Eligible Individuals and how support service payments are calculated (e.g., transportation). 18.4.5.B.4 System Coding of Participation Hours Participation hours for months in which WV WORKS benefits were received must be entered in Component Scheduled Hours Competed Hours Monthly Excused Hours Monthly Holiday Hours JR 128 103 16 8 NOTE: When adding participation hours and there is a decimal you would round up to the next whole number.
