The Wisconsin State Assembly gathered in a special session to vote on welfare reform last week. The package of legislation included work requirements for able-bodied adults, required child support compliance for Medical Assistance eligibility, photo identification for FoodShare, and more. Representative Terry Katsma of Oostburg was “proud to join my colleagues in supporting these bills” and added “I am particularly supportive of Special Session Bill 3, which puts asset limits on individuals collecting public benefits, except in cases of hardship.” All ten bills were introduced by Rep. Robin Vos, Rep. Jesse Kremer and Senator Chris Kapenga.
