How the WOTC Program Works for Employers

Employers may:

• Pre-screen their own applicant to determine if they are members of one of the target groups.

system, stating in the job duties section of the listing that

To determine if an applicant is a member of one or more of the target groups, the employer and the

employee must complete and sign the Pre-Screening Notice and Certiﬁ cation Request for the WOTC,

Form IRA 8850. In addition, the individual Characteristics Form, ETA 9061, must be completed and

signed. Mail forms to:
