Currently, DWD operates an employment service that assists unemployed individuals in finding suitable employment. This program is funded with federal revenue.
This bill permits this program to be funded, in addition, from the unemployment reserve fund, which is used to pay unemployment insurance benefits. The change potentially increases the liability of employers to finance those benefits through contributions (taxes).
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

Health and human services
Public assistance
Under current law, county departments of social services or human services (county departments) pay cemetery, funeral, and burial expenses for decedents who, during life, received certain public assistance benefits, such as Wisconsin Works benefits or Medical Assistance (MA) benefits, and whose estates are insufficient to pay those expenses. The amounts paid by the county departments are the lesser of $1,000 or the cemetery expenses not paid by the estate and the lesser of $1,500 or the funeral and burial expenses not paid by the estate. DHFS is required to reimburse the county departments for those payments from a general purpose revenue appropriation out of which DHFS also pays county departments for administering income maintenance programs, which include the cemetery, funeral, and burial expenses program, the MA program, the Badger Care health care program, and the food stamp program. This bill provides that DHFS must reimburse the county departments for payments of cemetery, funeral, and burial expenses only to the extent that funds are available for this purpose.
For further information see the state and local 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:
SECTION 1. 49.785 (2) of the statutes is amended to read:
49.785 (2) From the appropriation under s. 20.435 (4) (bn), to the extent that funds are available for this purpose, the department shall reimburse a county or applicable tribal governing body or organization for any amount that the county or applicable tribal governing body or organization is required to pay under sub.

From the appropriation under s. 20.435 (4) (bn), the department shall reimburse a county or applicable tribal governing body or organization for cemetery expenses or for funeral and burial expenses for persons described under sub.
