This bill requires DHS to submit to the federal government a request for an amendment to the Medicaid waiver for the childless adult demonstration project to provide employment and training services for childless adults eligible for the demonstration project. Currently, the childless adults demonstration project, also known as BadgerCare Plus Core, provides health services to adults without children who are under the age of 65 and who have family incomes that do not exceed 100 percent of the federal poverty line. BadgerCare Plus Core operates under a waiver of federal Medicaid laws.
