MyWIChildCare for Providers Child care providers who accept Wisconsin Shares families are now paid differently. Instead of being paid directly by the state, parents who receive Wisconsin Shares are using their MyWIChildCare EBT card to pay providers according to their payment policies. The EBT system is called MyWIChildCare. The card looks like the image to the right. Providers may log in to ebtedge.com to check your MyWIChildCare account once you have a signed contract with FIS, the EBT vendor. Reminder: Never keep a client's MyWIChildCare EBT card, account number, or PIN! Do not ask for or possess a client’s MyWIChildCare EBT card, account number, PIN or any representation of these items. You may not require that a client submit their Authorization Notice. This violates Wisconsin Confidentiality Law (49.83). If you or your staff is found in possession of any of these items, you may be issued an overpayment and/or permanently suspended from the program. Do not risk it. Never ask for your client’s EBT cards!
