DOA:......Pink, BB0281 - Transfer administration of FoodShare training program
For 2007-09 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2007 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Health and human services
Public assistance
Under current law, DHFS administers the provision of benefits under the federal food stamp program and contracts with DWD for DWD to administer an employment and training program for food stamp program recipients. Under this bill, administration of the employment and training program for food stamp recipients is transferred to DHFS. DHFS may contract with county departments of social services and human services and with tribal governing bodies to administer the program. Under current law, DWD may subcontract with Wisconsin Works agencies to handle the actual program administration. Under the bill, DHFS may contract, and county departments and tribal governing bodies may subcontract, with Wisconsin Works agencies or other providers to administer the program.
Under current law, an individual is ineligible for food stamps in any month in which the individual is not in compliance with various child support enforcement requirements, such as by refusing to cooperate with efforts to establish paternity with respect to a child or being delinquent in the payment of child support. This bill removes noncompliance with the child support enforcement requirements as a basis for ineligibility for food stamps.
