(a) Written applications shall be reviewed by the department's employment services bureau (ESB) to assess compliance with the requirements for program consideration set forth at Emp 411.03.

(b) The ELMI shall review any application that meets the requirements set forth at Emp 411.03 and provide the ESB with a recommendation as to whether the applicant's plan falls within a growing industry or occupation, or will support a growing industry and is a viable prospect. The recommendation shall be based on data such as:

(1) Projected industry growth;

(2) Occupational outlook;

(3) Projected occupational growth rate; and

(4) Projected number of job openings.

(c) Concurrent with the ELMI review of the application, the SBDC shall perform an assessment of the feasibility of the applicant's plan for self-employment. The SBDC shall assess whether the self-employment plan has a reasonable likelihood of success. Based on its review, the SBDC shall make a written recommendation to the department.

(d) The department, through the ESB, shall consider the recommendations of the SBDC and the ELMI in making its determination with respect to any application.

(e) After determining that the claimant meets the initial requirements for program consideration under Emp 411.03 and considering the recommendations from the ELMI and SBDC, the Department shall issue a written determination advising the claimant that his or her application is:

(1) Approved and he or she is accepted into the PTW Program;

(2) Pending because acceptance into the PTW Program will cause enrollment in the program to exceed 2.5 % of the claimants receiving regular benefits; or

(3) Denied and he or she is not accepted into the PTW Program.
