Children
The Wisconsin Works (W-2) program under current law, which is administered by DCF, 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, who needs child care services to participate in various educational or work activities, and who satisfies other eligibility criteria may receive a child care subsidy for child care services under the W-2 program.
Under current law, if a W-2 agency plans to take action against an individual who participates in W-2 that would result in a 20 percent or more reduction in the participant's benefits or in termination of the participant's eligibility to participate in W-2, the agency must provide written notice of the proposed action and reasons for the action and allow the participant a reasonable time after providing the notice to rectify the deficiency, failure, or other behavior to avoid the proposed action. This draft removes these notice and rectification requirements.
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:
Section
1. 49.153 of the statutes is repealed.
