NAACP NEWSNAACP ADVOCATES FOR THE PEOPLE
Madison, WI--NAACP Dane County President, Greg Jones, testified during the Wisconsin Assembly's Committee on Public Benefit Reform public hearing against proposed legislation that would require child support compliance for FoodShare (food stamp) benefits. FoodShare Wisconsin was created to help stop hunger and to improve nutrition and health. FoodShare helps people with limited money buy the food they need for good health. AB57 Synopsis: This bill prohibits certain individuals and parents who refuse to cooperate in determining the paternity of a child or establishing or enforcing a child support order from being eligible for FoodShare benefits. The bill also prohibits certain parents who refuse to cooperate in providing or obtaining support for their child or who are delinquent in child support payments and do not satisfy an exception specified in the bill from being eligible for FoodShare benefits. FoodShare, also known as the food stamp program and the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, provides benefits to eligible low-income households for the purchase of food. FoodShare is administered by the Department of Health Services. The federal government pays the benefits for FoodShare while the state and federal government share the cost of administration.
