Bill > AB650

This bill amends Wisconsin statutes to provide funding for identity verification within the unemployment insurance system, specifically for costs related to "identity proofing" under section 108.14 (10m) of the statutes, which refers to the process of verifying an individual's identity to prevent fraud. This funding is designated for the Department of Workforce Development and will be used for these identity proofing costs when federal funding is not available. The bill also makes a fiscal change, increasing appropriations for the Department of Workforce Development by $190,800 for fiscal year 2025-26 and by $726,100 for fiscal year 2026-27, to cover these new identity verification expenses.
