The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), Division of Medicaid Services administers the Wisconsin Funeral and Cemetery Aids Program (WFCAP).
WFCAP is an assistance program to service providers who offer funeral, cremation, and cemetery services to certain decedents whose services are not fully compensated by the decedent’s estate, family, or other resources. WFCAP is the payer of last resort, which means funeral, cemetery, and cremation service providers are required to make a reasonable effort to exhaust all other funding sources before submitting a WFCAP application.
Only funeral, cemetery, or cremation service providers can submit a WFCAP application. Funeral, cemetery, and cremation service providers may be able to receive WFCAP payments for decedents enrolled in a W-2 paid placement at the time of death.
For additional information on WFCAP, see the DHS WFCAP website at: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/em/wfcap/index.htm.
