  1. Work Incentive (WIN) • WIN is a reimbursement program for K-TAP adults who are discontinued with countable earnings • WIN became effective 4/1/2003

  2. Facts about WIN • Adults could receive $130 monthly for up to 9 months as reimbursement for working expenses • WIN is once in lifetime • You cannot waive or postpone receipt of WIN

  3. Facts about WIN • WIN is excluded in SNAP and Medicaid and for SNAP, the family is categorically eligible • Families may not receive WIN, FAD, or K-TAP concurrently and WIN is not a TANF month

  4. To Qualify for WIN Adult household member must • Be discontinued with countable earnings • Be timely in the report/verif of earnings • Have eligible child in home • Be employed • Have work expense • Live in Kentucky • Be at or under 200% of poverty scale

  5. What Do I Do? • Work the K-TAP case first! • Answer the KAMES question correctly concerning RPT/VER timely • If WIN eligible, KAMES will upload STEP and the first payment will be issued automatically on the 10th of the effective month

  6. What Do I Do? • Subsequent payments require worker acknowledgement of form WIN-1 • Proof of continued employment can be one check stub. Don’t re-budget monthly. Accept client statement about being under 200% poverty scale

  7. How do I make the payment? • Access STEP payment screen to: • Enter pay type (type 24) • Complete Date-name-county-address-fields (similar to PA-32 Payments) • Enter X to complete transaction • Check the delete payment screen prior to moving on!

  8. Type Information on this screen

  9. How Do the Forms Work? • WIN eligible adults will be issued form WIN-1 by STEP. • WIN-1 must be received by the 10th • Indicate non-receipt on System Generated PA-33 screen by the 12th

  10. How Do the Forms Work? • STEP issues WIN-2, second notice, if worker indicates non-receipt of the original form • If WIN-2 isn’t received by last workday of the report month the reimbursement will stop and the individual is not eligible again for WIN

  11. How Do the Forms Work? • If WIN-1 is received but isn’t complete, send another WIN-1 with PA-105 indicating what items need completion and that the form is due by end of month • If your manually issued WIN-1 and PA-105 is ignored, WIN is over

  12. How Do the Forms Work? • If you forget to use the system generated 2nd notice for WIN forms, you must manually send form WIN-1 and PA-105 to the recipient

  13. What if? • If job is lost, recipient has one month to obtain new job and 10 days to verify the new job • If new job report is timely but the verification isn’t, send form PA-105 denying WIN

  14. What if? • The K-TAP case is discontinued by mistake? Reinstate prior to the 10th calendar day of the next month, otherwise, if earnings are in the case, a WIN payment will be made. If that happens, it’s worker error, not client error
