DOA:......Jablonsky - BB0050 Intensive treatment beds at centers for developmentally disabled
For 2003-05 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2003 BILL

AN ACT ...; relating to: extended intensive treatment services at the state centers for the developmentally disabled and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
health and human services
Mental illness and developmental disabilities
Under current law, the state centers for the developmentally disabled may provide, among other services, intensive treatment services for up to 50 individuals with developmental disabilities who are also diagnosed as mentally ill or who exhibit extremely aggressive and challenging behaviors.
This bill removes the limit on the number of individuals who may be provided intensive treatment services at the state centers for the developmentally disabled. However, the bill conditions receipt of those services on a determination by DHFS that a licensed bed and necessary resources are available and on an agreement between DHFS and the individual's county of residence concerning a maximum discharge date for the individual. The bill also authorizes DHFS to impose on counties that pay for these services a progressive surcharge of an additional 10% of the amount paid under Medical Assistance (MA) for the intensive treatment services, for any part of the six-month period that an individual receives the services beyond the discharge date agreed upon by DHFS and the individual's county of residence. For each subsequent six-month period during any part of which the individual receives the services, the surcharge is increased by an additional 10%. From the moneys received under this surcharge, DHFS may provide payment to counties for one-time costs associated with relocating individuals into communities from state centers for the developmentally disabled under waiver of laws of the federal MA program (commonly known as "Medicaid").
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

DOA:......Fath - BB0298, Tax intercept of repayments of job access loans
For 2003-05 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2003 BILL

AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Health and human services
Wisconsin Works
Under current law, overpayments of food stamp benefits and various benefits under Wisconsin Works (W-2) may be recovered as a setoff against any income tax refund owed to the person who received the overpayment. DWD certifies the amount of the overpayment to DOR. Before the certification, the person who received the overpayment receives notice that the overpayment amount will be certified and set off against any tax refund to which he or she may be entitled. The person may request a hearing to appeal the overpayment determination.
Also under current law, DWD makes job access loans, which must be repaid, to persons who are eligible for W-2 and who need such loans to obtain or continue employment. This bill authorizes DWD to certify delinquent job access loan repayments to DOR for setoff against any income tax refund owed to the person who received the loan. The same notice and hearing rights that apply under current law to certification of benefits overpayments apply to certification of delinquent job access loan repayments. Delinquent repayment amounts collected by DOR and paid to DWD must be used to make more job access loans.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
