If the Browse and Upload File options are grayed out, try logging out and logging back in. If that doesn’t work, it means you haven’t been verified to submit multiple applications. You’ll need to contact the WOTC office for help.
You can check your WOTC applications in three ways:
- Go to View Prior Submissions to see the month and year you submitted an application.
- Select Application Search to search for a specific application by FEIN, Application ID, or employee’s name.
- Choose Reviewed Case Status to check the status of mailed or online applications.
