What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under the bill, a foster parent who is age 19 to 64, whose family income does not exceed 200 percent of the federal poverty line, and who is a foster parent of a child who is living in the home with the foster parent is eligible for the Medical Assistance program under the BadgerCare Plus program. BadgerCare Plus, as a Medical Assistance program, is jointly funded by the state and federal governments, meaning that the federal government would pay as federal financial participation a portion of the benefits for individuals eligible for BadgerCare Plus. Under the bill, the Department of Health Services, which administers the Medical Assistance and BadgerCare Plus programs, must request from the federal Department of Health and Human Services any approval required to implement the program.
