About the federal government shutdown

DHS is closely monitoring the current federal government shutdown. Our goal is to keep the public informed, especially our members who receive vital health and nutrition support and services.

Here is what FoodShare, WIC, and Medicaid members need to know:

  • Full November FoodShare benefits are now available on all QUEST cards. To check your balance, call QUEST Card Services automated line at 877-415-5164. Visit the FoodShare: News for Members page at dhs.wi.gov/fsnews for more information.
  • As of October 31, WIC benefits will be available throughout the month of November. You can continue to use your WIC benefits, attend WIC appointments, and do not need to take any action. Contact your local WIC agency with any questions.
  • Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus members still have coverage to get the care and services they need. For updates, visit the Medicaid News page.
