As the Joint Finance Committee begins its last week of deliberations on Tuesday, it will take up a broad range of issues that are important for low-income families. Some of the topics that will be considered include the Wisconsin Shares child care subsidy program, the state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a number of papers relating to Wisconsin Works (W-2), and various other uses of federal funds from the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) block grant.

A new Wisconsin Budget Project Blog post provides a summary of some of the more significant issues for children and families on the May 31 JFC agenda, and links to those LFB papers.
