Program exit is the last date a participant received services from any common exit program in which the participant is enrolled.1 The last day of service cannot be determined until at least 90 days have elapsed since the participant last received participation-causing services; services do not include self-service, information-only services or activities, or follow-up services . This also requires that there are no plans to provide the participant with future services.2
Career planners cannot exit a participant who is actively receiving services. Ideally, exits will coincide with the participant's achievement of their program-related goals, as identified in their individual employment plan (IEP) or individual service strategy (ISS).
Under WIOA, Wisconsin has implemented a common exit policy.3 Programs affected by DWD-DET's common exit policy are listed in Chapter 11.4. This means if a participant is enrolled in two or more of these programs at the same time, open participation-causing services in any one program will prevent exits from other programs, even if the other programs are not providing services.
