Wisconsin Shares Handbook
A change to the Assistance Group (AG) composition or income can change the AG’s Federal Poverty Level (FPL) for the next month’s subsidy calculations. This may or may not impact the copayment per hour based on Copayment Period (see 18.4). It will not result in a higher Copayment Period.
A change in the child’s relationship to the parent, such as the adoption of a foster child, will not result in a higher copayment type (see 18.3) until the next eligibility renewal.
| Process: When an agency worker enters changes into CWW, the information will interface with CSAW and the subsidy amount for future months will recalculate. The new subsidy amount will be effective the first day of the month after the change was entered and confirmed in CWW or the first of the recurring month if the change was entered after Adverse Action in CWW. If it is after Adverse Action and the change must take effect the immediately following month, agency workers must run with dates to ensure the change takes effect for the correct month (see 11.2). |
