Why Switch to a Paperless WOTC Screening Process

CMS’s online web link screening system screens your WOTC new hires with ease. The benefits of using the online screening system include…

Empowerment Zones, Enterprise Zones, Rural Renewal Counties Map

WOTC Address Locator Map

If your employee lives in an Empowerment Zone, Enterprise Zone, or a Rural Renewal County and are between ages 18-39 you may be eligible for a WOTC Tax Credit. CMS’s online screening automatically includes an address check to determine if the employee resides in one of these zones. You can also check using CMS’s map on our website.
