SB797,1,2 1An Act to create 49.823 of the statutes; relating to: requiring department
2review of public benefit databases.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Health Services and the Department of
Children and Families to perform, every three months, a comparison of each
department's respective public benefit database information against nationally
recognized databases, including the federal Social Security Administration's Death
Master File, that contain information on death records. Based on that comparison,
DHS and DCF must then remove from that department's public benefit databases
those individuals that the department has determined are deceased.
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:
