What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Health Services to create and implement

a payment system based on performance for entities that perform administrative

functions for the FoodShare employment and training program, known as FSET.

The bill specifies criteria for the performance outcomes on which the payment system

must be based.

Under current law, the Department of Children and Families is required to

consider certain criteria for performance bonuses for Wisconsin Works agencies.

This bill requires DCF to instead use those criteria for performance-based payments

to Wisconsin Works agencies. The bill does not change the current prohibition for

basing any performance bonus payments on caseload decreases, or reduced spending

by the Wisconsin Works agency, that are not directly attributable to placement of

participants in unsubsidized employment.
