flag Wisconsin seeks $69.2M to cover higher FoodShare costs due to new federal rules.

flag Wisconsin's Department of Health Services is seeking $69.2 million in state funding to cover rising costs for the FoodShare program, citing federal changes that increase state responsibility. flag New rules require Wisconsin to pay 75% of administrative costs, up from 50%, and impose penalties if error rates exceed 6%, potentially costing $68 million to $205 million annually. flag The state plans to hire 56 new staff to improve accuracy, as errors stem from calculation mistakes, not fraud. flag Expanded work requirements are expected to boost enrollment in job programs by 43,700, adding $14.6 million in costs. flag Officials urge legislative action by January’s end to avoid penalties and protect program access for nearly 700,000 residents.
