Working Rewards Program
Keep Your Paystubs & Keep Earning
The Working Rewards Program at Employment Options allows clients to ‘save up’ their Monthly Pay Stub raffle tickets and cash them in for bigger prizes like gift cards, laptops, big screen monitors and more!
Good luck! May each of you win BIG!
Note: Ticket holders often believe that if they earn over $1110 (Trial Work Level 2024) in a month they will lose their cash benefits. This is not accurate information. For information on how your benefits will be affected by different earning levels, please contact your Job Counselor and they can help you get an appointment with our Benefits Counselor/CPWIC.
