Summary
Jeanine Spuhler told the board state letters about work requirements will be sent to just over 7,500 people in the NIMC, including 524 in Bayfield County; ES staff are handling calls and preparing for Energy Assistance planning meetings.
Jeanine Spuhler, Economic Support Services, told the board that the State is sending letters that may affect recipients' income assistance if they do not meet work-requirement standards. She said the notices will go to just over 7,500 people in the NIMC and that 524 of those are Bayfield County residents; ES staff are fielding calls from concerned recipients and offering guidance.
Spuhler said Isabel Ford is completing Interim Assistance training and that the first Energy Assistance planning meeting with the state is scheduled for Aug. 6. Board members asked how volunteer hours are tracked and what kinds of activities qualify; Spuhler said a written statement is required and that volunteer work for businesses, institutions or neighbors counts toward hours.
