Wisconsin Works
Under current law, the Learnfare program requires school age children of Wisconsin Works (W-2) participants, with some exceptions, to meet certain school enrollment standards. Current law requires certain individuals who are subject to the school attendance requirement to participate in case management provided under the Learnfare program, including minor parents, habitual truants, and dropouts. This bill also requires a child who is subject to the school attendance requirement and whose W-2 group includes an individual who has been unable to participate in W-2 activities due to the child's school-related problems to participate in case management provided under the Learnfare program.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
