TANF Section, WIOA Combined Plan Modifications 2026
41 address assigned to individuals enrolled in the state’s address confidentiality program. This program, known as Safe at Home, aims to protect individuals who fear for their safety such as victims of sexual assault.
Comprehensive services across professions include implementation of the Wisconsin Statutes requirement that Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies refer all cases of suspected or threatened child sexual abuse to law enforcement. Local law enforcement agencies and CPS coordinate the planning and execution of the investigation of the report. Any law enforcement agency that determines criminal action is necessary refers the case to the District Attorney for criminal prosecution. The CPS Access and Initial Assessment Standards describe the statutory requirements and practice guidelines for CPS agencies to enhance collaboration with law enforcement agencies in response to reports of sexual abuse, as well as reports of other forms of child maltreatment.

(g) Prevention of Access to Assistance in Electronic Fund Transactions Implement policies and procedures as necessary to prevent access to assistance provided under the State program funded under this part through any electronic fund transaction in an automated teller machine or point-of-sale device located in a place described in section 408(a)(12), including a plan to ensure that recipients of the assistance have adequate access to their cash assistance (section 402(a)(1)(A)(vii) of the Social Security Act).
Wisconsin issues payments via paper check or via Electronic Funds Transfer (direct deposit into participants’ bank accounts). In order to prevent access of TANF-funded assistance under any electronic funds transfer in prohibited locations, Wisconsin has: 1) published an operations memo informing its W-2 Agencies of prohibited locations and transactions; 2) included a flyer, available in English, Spanish, or Hmong, as part of the application and eligibility-review processes to ensure that the FEP discusses the information with participants; and 3) mailed a notice October 2014 to all then-current W-2 participants (who would not have received the brochure at intake) informing them of the prohibited locations for using their cash assistance. (See W-2 Manual Chapter 1.)
(h) Access to Assistance with No or Minimal Fees/Charge Ensure that recipients of assistance provided under the State program funded under this part have the ability to use or withdraw assistance with minimal fees or charges, including an opportunity to access assistance with no fee or charges, and are provided information on applicable fees and surcharges that apply to electronic fund transactions involving the assistance, and that such information is made publicly available (section 402(a)(1)(A)(viii) of the Social Security Act).
As stated in (g) above, Wisconsin issues payments via paper check or via Electronic Funds Transfer (direct deposit into participants’ bank accounts). W-2 Policy requires the FEP to discuss the possible fees that may be associated with Electronic Funds Transfer with the participant before the participant signs the Electronic Funds Transfer form, which is required to
