Control Panel - Benefit Information

OSST computes required hours for Community Work Experience (CWEP) and for Work Experience on the benefits screen.  Both the formula used and the result are displayed.

CWEP formula used is: (Cash amount + SNAP E&T Food Assistance amount/5.15/4.3) = mandatory CWEP hours

 

Work Experience formula used is: Cash amount/5.15/4.3) = mandatory Work Experience hours

 

This saves the career manager time used to calculate the hours and the need to recall the proper formula.
