6.4 Co-Enrollment in FSET and Another Allowable Work Program

FSET participants may be co-enrolled in another allowable work program for the purposes of meeting the ABAWD work requirement. These work programs include:

Refugee Employment and Training
Wisconsin Works (W-2)
Children First
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) programs
Refugee Cash Assistance programs
Programs under section 236 of the Trade Act

When a non-exempt ABAWD enrolled in another allowable work program is also enrolled in FSET, the FSET worker should work closely with the participant’s case worker for the other program in order to accurately determine how many hours s/he participates in the co-enrolled program and how many hours of FSET participation are required monthly in order to meet the work requirement. If an ABAWD is meeting the work requirement through participation in another allowable work program, s/he may also be voluntarily referred to FSET as an exempt ABAWD in order to co-enroll.
