Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown and the lack of federal funding, November SNAP benefits have been delayed, and the start of applications for the Home Energy Assistance Program has been delayed until further notice. The Public Assistance program is not affected at this time. For more information, visit: otda.ny.gov/shutdown-resources

Wage Subsidy Program (WSP) & Transitional Employment Program (TE) 2013-2014

OTDA Home News & Public Information Performance Management and Accountability Wage Subsidy Program (WSP) 2013-2014

Wage Subsidy Program (WSP) & Transitional Employment Program (TE) 2013-2014

Appropriation Level: $950,000

Using wage subsidies as a hiring incentive, non-profit agencies work with employers to develop positions for individuals who have been unable to find employment through conventional means. The non-wage subsidy portion of the contracts is performance-based and vendors earn reimbursement as participants become employed, transition to and retain unsubsidized employment. Program goals are:

  • Completion of 30 days in subsidized employment;
  • Transition to unsubsidized employment;
  • Completion of 90 days in unsubsidized employment, or 120 days for direct placement.

The SFY 2013-14 $950,000 appropriation was originally programmed for the Wage Subsidy Program (WSP) and Transitional Employment Program (TE) contract cycle that ran 1/1/09 – 3/31/14 but was reprogrammed to support the new round of Wage Subsidy contracts that began on 9/1/15.
