A message on behalf of the Kenosha County Aging & Disability Resource Center...

The 2015-2017 State Budget, Act 55, directs the Department of Health Services to make a number of changes to the Family Care and IRIS Programs. These two programs are State of Wisconsin funding programs which help pay for care in the home. The Department is holding public hearings throughout the state in September 2015 in order to receive testimony from interested parties.

Public testimony, both in-person or written testimony, will be accepted beginning on September 9, 2015 to coincide with the first public hearing (and through October 11). Click on this link for more information https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/familycareiris2/index.htm.
