Eligibility Management >> IM Consortia
Income Maintenance Consortia
State, Tribal and County Income Maintenance Agencies
determine eligibility for BadgerCare Plus, FoodShare, Medicaid and other
programs and manage their ongoing benefits. Most people are served by
their County Income Maintenance Agency. In 2009 the Enrollment Services
Center (ESC) started providing income maintenance services to adults
without dependent children who live throughout the state.
Starting in January 1, 2012, most income maintenance is
going to be provided by county agencies that are part of a group called
a consortium. Members may continue to get help applying for and managing
benefits at their local agency that will be part of the new consortium.
The goal of this change is to improve customer service and better manage
enrollment services.
The Income Maintenance Consortia efforts will not change
member benefits or how services are received.
Cases currently managed by the ESC will be transferred
to the individual’s county agency that is part of a consortium. When
this change happens, members will receive a notice of their new agency
and its contact information.
If members live in Milwaukee County and their case is
managed by Milwaukee Enrollment Services (MilES), there will be no
change.
