Good to know
Wisconsin has no state paid family and medical leave insurance program in the verified DWD information; Wisconsin FMLA provides protected leave that is generally unpaid. Summer EBT was operating for summer 2026, so it was not opted out. State pre-K is offered by local school districts, and 4K enrollment is not through one statewide application portal. Wisconsin Works is the state's TANF program. The marketplace is HealthCare.gov. Wisconsin no longer runs a state General Relief program, though some local agencies may offer assistance.
