The purpose of this policy bulletin is to inform Job Center and Fair Hearing Staff that in October 2011 a programming change was made to New York City Work, Accountability, and You (NYCWAY) to ensure that Wellness, Comprehensive Assessment, Rehabilitation and Employment (WeCARE) individuals previously determined exempt and unable to work, or unable to work and potentially eligible for federal disability benefits, are not called in for a mandatory work activity appointment until a new determination of employability status is made.
This policy bulletin also provides information on the new NYCWAY Action Codes that have been developed to generate eligibility call-in appointment notices sent to: (1) exempt individuals who have requested a Fair Hearing challenging their eligibility infraction and (2) individuals who have requested a Fair Hearing contesting their employability.
