Work Opportunity Tax (WOTC) and Welfare-to-Work Tax (WTW)

Application process

The first step is pre-screening to determine eligibility.

The jobseeker or the employer must complete the Individual Characteristics Form, and Form 8850. Check out the Division of Career Services (pdf) form WOTC Request for Verification (Form #2099). The employer and the jobseeker must complete the Pre-Screening Notice and Certification Request for the Work Opportunity and Welfare-to-Work Credits, Form 8850.

The employer and the jobseeker must sign the Form 8850, under penalty of perjury, attesting that the jobseeker is a member of a target group. The employer then sends the forms to the Division of Career Services postmarked no later than the 21st calendar day after the jobseeker begins work.

Mail the Form 8850 with the ETA 9061 attached to:
