1. Transfers to DHS for independent living grants
This bill clarifies that DWD is required to transfer money to DHS for the purpose of providing grants to independent living centers only up to the amount DWD receives from the federal Social Security Administration as reimbursement for the fact that individuals who gain employment with assistance from the vocational rehabilitation program no longer receive certain benefits from the federal Social Security Administration. DHS awards grants to independent living centers for providing nonresidential services to severely disabled individuals.
Under current law, DWD is required to transfer $600,000 in each fiscal year to DHS for the grant program.
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:
