Wisconsin Department of Children and Families Emergency Assistance Manual |
Children may be included in more than one EA Group within the 12-month EA payment limit when the children live with a different Caretaker Relative(s) during that time. The caretaker relative(s) of the EA Group (not the dependent children) is considered in determining the 12-month EA payment limit. When there is a family reconfiguration which results in a potential EA payment for the same child(ren) who had been included in an EA payment within the prior 12 months, the W-2 agency must verify the residency of the adult(s) who has care and control of the child(ren).
EXAMPLE 1: Daria and her two children received EA in September for impending homelessness. Later the children went to live with their dad, Tony, who applied for EA in January of the following year for impending homelessness. Tony and his children may be eligible for EA although his children were part of an EA Group four months earlier when living with Daria, as Tony has not received EA in the last 12 months.
History: There are no previous versions of this policy.
