What supporting information can help expedite my WOTC application?

WOTC offices across the country always appreciate assistance verifying eligibility in order to make determinations faster.* Completing your 8850 and 9061 in full isn’t always enough. For each target category there are several acceptable sources for verification purposes. By collecting this information for your WOTC applications you can often see faster determinations.


Below is a list of documentary evidence accepted by WOTC Offices:


TANF Recipient - AFDC benefit history, Case Number


Ex-Felon - Parole or Probation Officer Statement verifying release or conviction date, Online correctional institution records, Case Manger statement, Correctional Institution ID Number


Veteran Status - A copy of the applicant’s DD-214


Food Stamp Recipient - Name of primary recipient and city/state where SNAP benefits were received. Case Number/Identifier


SSI Recipient - a copy of the applicant’s Benefit Verification Letter, from the Social Security Administration.


These sources will not magically result in Certification overnight, but will definitely point your WOTC Coordinator’s Office in the right direction to expedite your applications.


*  In 2011 the Department of Labor reports that the national WOTC application workload was 3,750,967.
