WPA Workers Now Eligible to Return
The WPA allows workers who left WPA employment temporarily to remain eligible for reassignment if they have been out of WPA for less than four months. Administrators aim to encourage acceptance of private employment by preserving eligibility through summer and seasonal jobs. The change ensures continued WPA evaluation for current eligibility and notes automatic nullification of 30 day pending certifications unless recertified.
