The Economic Support Program is the benefit insurance component
that establishes eligibility for public assistance, determines benefit
amounts, and distributes financial support.
The primary program areas are:
Wisconsin Works Program/Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Food
Stamps, Medical Assistance, Kenosha CARES/SHARES programs and child
care. Secondary components include the
Low Income Energy Assistance Program, the Emergency Assistance Program, SSI
Advocacy Program, the Holiday House charities, the Fraud Prevention Unit, and
the Quality Control Unit. The Economic
Support Program operates out of three locations; the Kenosha County Job Center, the Kenosha
County Center serves the general community who live west of I-94, the Center
for Aging and Long Term Care serves the elderly and nursing home populations. The Economic Support Specialists function
as critical members of Financial and Employment planning Teams who not only
determine eligibility and issue benefits for Wisconsin Works, Food Stamps,
Medical Assistance, and Childcare, but also determine what Wisconsin Works
Program placement and activities an individual is assigned. They work in conjunction with other Team
members to assist families in becoming economically and socially
self-sufficient. |

Food Stamps help individuals and families buy the food they need
for good health. Food Stamp benefits
come as either coupons or as a swipe card that can be used at most grocery
stores. Since the goal of the Food
Stamp Program is to make it easier for persons to have nutritious, adequate
diets, Food Stamps cannot be used to buy alcoholic beverages, tobacco,
cigarettes, soap, paper products, pet food or any other non-food item. Food Stamps are only used to pay for food
and for plants/seeds for home food gardens.
The Food Stamp Program is based on income and assets and can be given
out on an emergency basis. |
