To the editor:
The Department of Health Services (DHS) has filed an application with the federal government to extend Wisconsin’s Family Care program.
Early estimates project that more than 10,000 people with severe disabilities could be forced from prevocational programs (because of changes to the program). The consequences for both those employed by the work centers and the success of these centers are drastic.
Please contact the governor and members of the legislature listed below and tell them to stop the DHS’s attempt to eliminate the option for citizens with disabilities’ to choose employment and remain employed at work centers.
