TANF Section, WIOA Combined Plan Modifications 2026

25 payment does not count toward a participant’s state or federal 60-month TANF time limit and the participant’s child support payments are not assigned to the state. The purpose of providing supplemental payments is to assist W-2 participants who become employed and stop receiving federally-funded assistance to transition into stable unsubsidized employment. Supplemental payments serve as an additional support for eligible families to retain employment and participate in services that may improve employment, and CMF+ allows W-2 participants who transitioned to the workforce to be included in Wisconsin’s work participation rate calculations.

As of June 23, 2018, W-2 participants who gained unsubsidized employment and met minimum work participation requirements are eligible to receive a monthly $50 supplemental payment in addition to case management follow-up services. Qualifying CMF placed W-2 participants may be eligible for the worker supplement, known as CMF+. CMF participants are W-2 participants who obtain employment while receiving W-2 services and assistance. The CMF placement makes them eligible to receive ongoing case management services for up to 12 months. CMF+ includes the same ongoing case management services as CMF, plus the $50 supplemental payment for up to 12 months as long as participants maintain employment that continues to meet work participation requirements and meet W-2 program eligibility requirements. This is a Separate State Program. This program falls under TANF Purposes 1 and 2.

Domestic Violence Services DCF administers state and federal funds to provide grants for domestic violence services in each county and tribal area in Wisconsin. The goals of the grant program are to: 1) provide crisis, safety, and support services for victims of domestic abuse and their children; 2) educate the community about issues related to domestic abuse; and 3) promote a coordinated community response to domestic abuse. DCF provides funding to End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin to provide training and technical assistance to domestic abuse programs and other systems. Wisconsin claims for MOE only the portion of the state-funded expenditures that are reasonably allocable to eligible families defined as at or below 300 percent of the FPL. This falls under Purpose 1, assisting needy families so children can be cared for in their homes. Providing crisis, safety, and support services to domestic violence victims improves safety in the home, increasing chances that children can remain safely in their own homes.

Burial Services DHS administers the Wisconsin Funeral and Cemetery Aids Program (WFCAP) in Wisconsin, an assistance program to service providers who offer funeral, cremation, and cemetery services to certain decedents whose services are not fully compensated by the decedent’s estate, family, or other resources. DHS reimburses funeral and/or cemetery expenses of a person who was eligible for TANF or MA services. DHS pays funeral and cemetery expenses for eligible families with state funding, which Wisconsin reports as an MOE expenditure. This service is for individuals receiving W-2 benefits and/or services, so financial eligibility is 115 percent of FPL. This falls under Purpose 1. (See W-2 Manual Chapter 19.)

Milwaukee County Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services DHS contracts for the provision of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) services to serve the TANF population in Milwaukee County at or below 200 percent of the FPL. Special target
