Today’s WOTC Wednesday question: What WOTC Screening Options Does CMS Offer?
CMS Responds: CMS has been in business for 22 years, and one of the questions that we get now is “what are the screening options that we offer?” So, CMS actually offers three different screening methods.
The first one being old-fashioned paper where they’re going and filling out the 8850 (and 9061) and sending them in to us.
The second service we provide is telecommunication – a call center that’s multi-lingual 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So, one of our representatives can actually perform the screening process via the phone, which is very popular.
And then our most-used screening option is our web-based portal. That’s a web portal that is made it very simple to use, the applicant can figure things out pretty simply. We do get a higher success rate of people using our web portal, and obtaining those tax credits.
So, I would say the number one way to screen employees is through our web portal.
