2. Repeal and recreate the subsidy phaseout under current law as a separate state program funded with $32,000,000 GPR annually. Current funding would be reduced by $32,000,000 FED annually to account for the reduction federal support for the program.
3. Repeal the subsidy phaseout under current law and instead provide for an exit threshold at 200% of the FPL after which participants would lose eligibility for the program. Reduce funding by $32,000,000 FED annually to account for the reduction in eligibility and subsidy issuance.
4. Take no action. D. Expanded Eligibility for Wisconsin Shares 1. Provide funding in 2026-27 and modify current law to support increasing the initial eligibility threshold to one of the following: (a) $3.0 million to increase eligibility to 210% of the FPL; or (b) $5.5 million to increase eligibility to 220% of the FPL. The phaseout threshold would not be changed, and thus the expanded eligibility would provide for a reduced subsidy amount for these participants.
2. Provide funding in 2026-27 and modify current law to support increasing both the initial eligibility and phase out thresholds to one of the following: (a) $15,000,000 FED to increase both thresholds to 210% of the FPL; or (b) $35,500,000 FED to increase both thresholds to 225% of the ALT C1 Change to Base
