(Eligibility and Benefits for
Aid to Families with Dependent Children Two-Tier Demonstration Project)
The Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services, through its Division of Economic Support, supervises county and tribal administration of the federal-state Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) Program.
The State of Wisconsin has federal governmental approval to conduct a demonstration project, called the Two-Tier AFDC Benefit Demonstration Project, that will measure the impact of AFDC benefit levels on migration of low income families.
The Two-Tier AFDC Benefit Demonstration Project began July 1, 1994. The demonstration project is being conducted in four counties - Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine and Rock. For the first six months that a family subject to the demonstration project lives in Wisconsin, AFDC benefits for a new arrival in the state are paid at a level comparable to AFDC benefits paid to a typical AFDC family in that person's state of origin, regardless of whether the state of origin's benefit level is higher or lower than Wisconsin's. Applicants or recipients who came to Wisconsin to take a job and who were employed at least 90 days before applying for AFDC and those recipients who previously were residents of Wisconsin for at least 6 consecutive months are not subject to the Two-Tier AFDC Benefit Demonstration Project. The Department has also exempted certain other categories of applicants and recipients such as migrant families and individuals participating in the Parental Responsibility Pilot Program under s. 49.25, Stats.
Maximum AFDC benefit levels, for the period July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995, available to families participating in the demonstration project according to family size and former state of residence were set out in Table 201.305, included in the administrative rules promulgated to implement the Two-Tier AFDC Benefit Demonstration Project. Section HSS 201.305 (4) of the rules directs the Department to update the other state benefit levels annually beginning July 1, 1995, for each year of the demonstration project by publishing updated benefit levels as a public notice in the Wisconsin Administrative Register. The July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997 maximum benefit amounts are found in the updated table included as part of this notice.
