An Act
to repeal
46.87 (5m);
to amend
46.87 (5) (a) 3. and 46.87 (5) (b) of the
2
statutes;
relating to:
financial eligibility for the Alzheimer’s family and
3
caregiver support program.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Health Services allocates funds to local agencies to assist eligible families with obtaining goods and services related to the care of a person with Alzheimer’s disease or another irreversible dementia. Currently, a person is financially eligible for the program if the joint income of the person with irreversible dementia and that person’s spouse, if any, is $48,000 per year or less. This bill repeals the financial eligibility requirement.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
