For Everyone's Benefit: Public Benefits Beyond the Basics 2023

Product ID: CA3466R9
Presented By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE

Produced by the Public Interest Law Section of the State Bar of Wisconsin in partnership with State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE®

Make friends with public benefits

In the early days of COVID-19, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared a public health emergency (PHE) to help the nation address the impacts of the virus. The PHE declaration created flexibilities in healthcare benefit programs that simplified vaccine access, allowed for more widespread use of telehealth services, provided emergency FoodShare benefits, and required Medicaid programs to keep beneficiaries continuously enrolled in coverage. With Congress’s decoupling of FoodShare and Medicaid protections from the PHE and its scheduled expiration in May of 2023, what will be the “new normal” for public benefits?

You’ll find answers to your most pressing benefits questions at For Everyone’s Benefit: Public Benefits Beyond the Basics. Be prepared to react to the unwinding of the PHE and anticipate your clients’ future eligibility for benefits like Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid, and FoodShare.
