Wisconsin Works
The Wisconsin Works (W-2) program under current law provides work experience and benefits for low-income custodial parents who are at least 18 years old. Also, an individual who is the parent of a child under the age of 13 or, if the child is disabled, under the age of 19, is eligible for a child care subsidy under the W-2 program if the individual needs child care services to participate in various educational or work activities and satisfies other eligibility criteria. One of those criteria is that the individual's family income may not exceed 185 percent of the poverty line. If an individual is already receiving a child care subsidy, however, their family income may be as high as 200 percent of the poverty line before they lose eligibility. This bill changes those maximum family income levels to 175 percent of poverty for an individual who is first applying for a child care subsidy and to 190 percent of poverty for an individual who is already receiving a subsidy. These new maximum family income levels only apply to individuals who first apply for a child care subsidy, or who, after losing eligibility, reapply for a child care subsidy, on or after the effective date of the act.
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. 49.155 (1m) (c) 1. (intro.) of the statutes is amended to read:

[revisor inserts date], the gross income of the individual's family is at or below 200% of the poverty line for a family the size of the individual's family. In calculating the gross income of the family, the Wisconsin works Works agency shall include income described under s. 49.145 (3) (b) 1. and 3., except that, in calculating farm and self-employment income, the Wisconsin works Works agency shall include the sum of the following:
SECTION 2. 49.155 (1m) (c) 1c. of the statutes is created to read:
