Questions families ask

Does Family Care or IRIS pay for room and board at an assisted living community?

Generally, no. CBRF and RCAC care services can be covered through Family Care or IRIS as home-and-community-based supports, but room and board is generally not covered by either program -- this should be verified per-placement, not assumed.

Is Wisconsin a Medicaid expansion state?

No. Wisconsin has not adopted the ACA's Medicaid expansion. Instead, it runs BadgerCare Plus, which covers childless adults up to 100% of the Federal Poverty Level rather than the ACA's 138% FPL expansion threshold, making Wisconsin a partial-expansion/non-expansion state.

How does someone in Milwaukee apply for Family Care or IRIS?

Contact your county's Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) to begin. The ADRC administers Wisconsin's Long-Term Care Functional Screen, which determines eligibility for both programs, and helps enroll members once financial and functional eligibility are confirmed.
