48.57(3n)(ar)(ar) Subject to sub. (3p) (fm) 1m. and (hm), a county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department shall enter into an agreement under par. (am) 6. if all of the following conditions are met: 48.57(3n)(ar)2.2. The applicant has expressed a willingness to enter into the agreement. 48.57(3n)(b)1.1. The county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department shall refer to the attorney responsible for support enforcement under s. 59.53 (6) (a) the name of the parent or parents of a child for whom a payment is made under par. (am). This subdivision does not apply to a child 18 years of age or over for whom a payment is made under par. (am). 48.57(3n)(b)2.2. When any long-term kinship care provider of a child applies for or receives payments under this subsection, any right of the child or the child’s parent to support or maintenance from any other person accruing during the time that payments are made under this subsection is assigned to the state. If a child is the beneficiary of support under a judgment or order that includes support for one or more children who are not the beneficiaries of payments under this subsection, any support payment made under the judgment or order is assigned to the state in the amount that is the proportionate share of the child who is the beneficiary of the payment made under this subsection, except as otherwise ordered by the court on the motion of a party. 48.57(3n)(c)(c) The county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department shall require the parent or parents of a child for whom a payment is made under par. (am) to initiate or continue health care insurance coverage for the child. 48.57(3n)(cm)(cm) A long-term kinship care provider who receives a payment under par. (am) for providing care and maintenance for a child is not eligible to receive a payment under sub. (3m) or s. 48.62 (4) or 48.623 (1) or (6) for that child. 48.57(3n)(d)(d) The county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department shall, at least once every 12 months after the county department or department begins making payments under this subsection, determine whether any of the events specified in par. (am) 6. a. to f. have occurred. If any such events have occurred, the county department or department shall discontinue making those payments. 48.57(3n)(e)(e) The department shall determine whether the child is eligible for medical assistance under ss. 49.43 to 49.471. 48.57(3n)(f)(f) Any person whose application for payments under par. (am) is not acted on promptly, is denied on the grounds that a condition specified in par. (am) 1., 2., 5., 5m., or 5r. has not been met, or is denied following a review under sub. (3p) (hm) on the grounds that a condition specified in par. (am) 4. or 4m. has not been met, and any person whose payments under par. (am) are discontinued under par. (d), may petition the department under par. (g) for a review of that action or failure to act. Review is unavailable if the action or failure to act arose more than 45 days before submission of the petition for review. 48.57(3n)(g)1.1. Upon receipt of a timely petition under par. (f) the department shall give the applicant or recipient reasonable notice and an opportunity for a fair hearing. The department may make such additional investigation as it considers necessary. Notice of the hearing shall be given to the applicant or recipient and to the county department or subunit of the department whose action or failure to act is the subject of the petition. That county department or subunit of the department may be represented at the hearing. The department shall render its decision as soon as possible after the hearing and shall send a certified copy of its decision to the applicant or recipient and to the county department or subunit of the department whose action or failure to act is the subject of the petition. The decision of the department shall have the same effect as an order of the county department or subunit of the department whose action or failure to act is the subject of the petition. The decision shall be final, but may be reviewed under ss. 227.52 to 227.58 or revoked or modified as altered conditions may require. The department shall deny a petition for review or shall refuse to grant relief if any of the following applies: 48.57(3n)(g)1.b.b. The sole issue in the petition concerns an automatic payment adjustment or change that affects an entire class of recipients and is the result of a change in state law. 48.57(3n)(g)1.c.c. The petitioner abandons the petition. Abandonment occurs if the petitioner fails to appear in person or by a representative at a scheduled hearing without good cause, as determined by the department. 48.57(3n)(g)2.2. If a recipient requests a hearing within 10 days after the date of notice that his or her payments under par. (am) are being discontinued, those payments may not be discontinued until a decision is rendered after the hearing but payments made pending the hearing decision may be recovered by the department if the contested action or failure to act is upheld. The department shall promptly notify the county department of the county in which the recipient resides or, if the recipient resides in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the subunit of the department administering of the long-term kinship care program in that county that the recipient has requested a hearing. Payments under par. (am) shall be discontinued if any of the following applies: 48.57(3n)(g)2.a.a. The recipient is contesting a state law or a change in state law and not the determination of the payment made on the recipient’s behalf. 48.57(3n)(g)2.b.b. The recipient is notified of a change in his or her payments under par. (am) while the hearing decision is pending but the recipient fails to request a hearing on the change. 48.57(3n)(g)3.3. The recipient shall be promptly informed in writing if his or her payments under par. (am) are to be discontinued pending the hearing decision. 48.57(3n)(h)(h) A county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department may recover an overpayment made under par. (am) from a long-term kinship care provider who continues to receive payments under par. (am) by reducing the amount of the long-term kinship care provider’s monthly payment. The department may by rule specify other methods for recovering overpayments made under par. (am). A county department that recovers an overpayment under this paragraph due to the efforts of its officers and employees may retain a portion of the amount recovered, as provided by the department by rule. 48.57(3n)(i)(i) The department shall promulgate rules to implement this subsection. Those rules shall include rules governing the provision of long-term kinship care payments for the care and maintenance of a child after the child attains 18 years of age. 48.57(3p)(a)(a) In this subsection, “adult resident” means a person 18 years of age or over who lives at the home of a person who has applied for or is receiving payments under sub. (3m) or (3n) with the intent of making that home his or her home or who lives for more than 30 days cumulative in any 6-month period at the home of a person who has applied for or is receiving payments under sub. (3m) or (3n). 48.57(3p)(b)1.1. After receipt of an application for payments under sub. (3m) or (3n), the county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department, with the assistance of the department of justice, shall conduct a background investigation of the applicant. 48.57(3p)(b)2.2. The county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department, with the assistance of the department of justice, may conduct a background investigation of any person who is receiving payments under sub. (3m) at the time of review under sub. (3m) (d) or at any other time that the county department or department considers to be appropriate. 48.57(3p)(b)3.3. The county department or, in a county having a population of 750,000 or more, the department, with the assistance of the department of justice, may conduct a background investigation of any person who is receiving payments under sub. (3n) at any time that the county department or department considers to be appropriate.
