8.8.4 Notification of Availability of Services

Effective date: July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026

DWD-DET requires that participants be made aware of the availability and the purpose of follow-up services at the time of IEP development.¹ Notification examples include but are not limited to:

Adding follow-up services as an action step on the initial IEP development for the participant to "remain in contact for 12 months following placement is unsubsidized employment." CEPT's action steps include "participate in follow-up services," which automatically populates when career planners open a new employment plan. The participant's acknowledged IEP is sufficient.

Provide follow-up details in any program flyers, advertisements, or enrollment forms where the participant signs/acknowledges the receipt of information.

¹ WIOA Sec. 134(c)(2)(A)(xiii) identifies follow-up services as one of the required WIOA career services and WIOA Sec. 134(c)(2)(A)(xii)(II) identifies the purpose of the IEP to identify the employment goals, appropriate achievement objectives, and appropriate combination of services for the participant to achieve the employment goals. Therefore, DWD-DET requires career planners to identify follow-up services to ensure the participants reach their employment goals.
