Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Children and Families administers temporary wage subsidy programs for individuals who meet all of the following qualifications: 1) are at least 18 years old and, if over 25 years old, are the parent or primary relative caregiver of a child under the age of 18; 2) have a household income below 150 percent of the poverty line; 3) have been unemployed for at least four weeks; 4) are ineligible to receive unemployment insurance benefits; 5) are not participating in a Wisconsin Works employment position; and 6) satisfy applicable substance abuse screening, testing, and treatment requirements.
This bill modifies the qualifications for participating in the programs by removing the requirement that the individual has been unemployed for at least four weeks and by specifying that anyone who has not filed for unemployment benefits or who has filed but is ineligible for unemployment benefits may participate.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
