Children
Under current law, certain federal Medical Assistance (MA) moneys that are received in reimbursement of the cost of providing targeted case management services to children whose care is not eligible for reimbursement under Title IV-E of the federal Social Security Act (Title IV-E) are appropriated to DCF and used to support the costs of augmenting the amount of moneys received under Title IV-E (income augmentation activities) and of implementing the statewide automated child welfare information system (SACWIS) and to provide services to children and families. This bill appropriates those federal MA moneys to DHS, directs those moneys to be transferred to a new appropriation of DCF created under the bill, and directs those moneys to be used to support the costs of income augmentation activities and of implementing SACWIS and to provide services to children and families.
Under current law, certain Title IV-E moneys that are received as the result of income augmentation activities are appropriated to DCF and used for those activities. This bill eliminates that appropriation and the use of those moneys for those activities.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
