What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Workforce Development to establish a

family navigator program to provide services to certain individuals who receive

federal supplemental security income. Under the bill, DWD must employ family

navigators in each local workforce development area of the state. The bill also

authorizes new positions.

Under a federal demonstration project that ended in 2018, DVR administered

a family navigator service using a federal grant under the Wisconsin PROMISE

Project.
