Ask Mike - Does Wisconsin participate in a paid assistance program

Dear Hard to Tell in Wisconsin,

Thanks for writing. You asked which states participated in a "paid assistance program". You clicked on the map (located on the PAS Center website) and found there was not a "yes or no" answer to the question.

You should know that every state in the nation now provides some form of paid in-home assistance, usually funded by Medicaid. How much of what type of assistance, and to whom, varies greatly from state to state. You will need to check out each state’s offerings on an individual, state by state basis. The PAS Center Website can provide a good start with finding out what any given state provides.

Go to Agencies Related to PAS and click on any State on the USA map. The list of agencies that appears next should be helpful to you. You can make a selection depending on what you want to know.

Good luck in your research!
Mike Oxford
