Families are eligible for services if they have a child with a severe
disability, under the age of 21, and living at home. A severe
disability is a physical, mental or emotional limitation which
seriously restricts the child’s ability to carry out basic daily living
activities such as self-care, learning, communication, mobility,
and self-direction.

E-mail: [email protected]
Although family living income is not a basis for eligibility, costsharing may be required on a sliding fee scale.
The Katie Beckett Program is designed for children 0-18 with
chronic long-term disabilities or complex medical needs living at
home. The child must require a level of care provided by a
hospital, skilled nursing home, or intermediate care facility.
Family income is not a factor. If eligible, the child would receive
a Wisconsin Medical Assistance card, which could cover a
number of prescribed services.
Family Support is a state-funded program. Because each county
has limited funding for this program, eligibility does not guarantee
a family will receive services. Agencies may have waiting lists for
services and assessments. Administering agencies may make
the final decision on who is served and approve each family’s
service plan. The contact person at the county is the Family
Support Coordinator.

Head Start provides comprehensive health, nutritional,
educational, and social services to primarily low-income young
children and their families. Head Start must serve children with
disabilities. At least 10% of their state-wide enrollment must be
children with disabilities.
The guidance of the Individual with Disabilities Act suggests that
preschool age children with disabilities may receive their special
education and related services in non-public school settings such
as Head Start or other child care programs as long as the special
education and related services meet the child's IEP and are
under the supervision of the public schools.

Public Schools
Call Your Local School District
See Schools, pages 91-93
Under the Individuals with Disabilities Act, it is the sole legal
responsibility of the public school to provide special education
and related services to eligible children with disabilities from age
three to twenty-one. The IDEA regulations state that children
with disabilities should be educated alongside their typically
developing peers unless their disability prevents them from
succeeding in the regular education environment with
supplementary aides and services.

EDUCATION, TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
The Hearing Aid Dealers and Fitting Board was created to
license and regulate hearing aid dealers and fitters because
many seniors have problems with hearing aids that do not work
well. If you have any questions about your hearing aid dealer,
contact the Examining Board to find out if he/she is licensed or
has complaints on his/her record. If you have a complaint about
a dealer, they will investigate. Some of the violations you may
contact them about are: (1) failure to properly test hearing aid of
the person before selling a hearing aid; (2) telling a person that
a hearing examination is the same as a medical examination or
recommending a treatment for a medical condition; (3) obtaining
or making a sale by fraud; (4) showing a model that is not
available to customers in order to sell them a different model; (5)
failure to supply a receipt to a customer who buys a hearing aid –
the receipt must specify the terms of any guarantee and must be
marked “used” when the hearing is not new; (6) incompetence
or negligence in fitting and selling hearing aids. This service is
free to anyone who has a hearing problem.

A one-time $225 payment can be made to an eligible surviving
spouse following the death of an insured male or female worker.
The Social Security Administration office in your area should be
notified of the insured worker’s death and a formal application
must be done to receive this benefit. The surviving spouse will
then receive either his/her own Social Security benefit or that of
the deceased spouse, depending on which Social Security
benefit is larger.
Medicare
Social Security Benefits
Government insurance program that helps provide financial
protection to you and your family. It is a benefit that you have
earned through payroll deductions from your past employment.
To receive Social Security benefits you must apply for them.
There are at least six types of Social Security benefits: 1)
Retirement; 2) Survivor’s Insurance; 3) Disability Insurance; 4)
Lump-Sum Death Payment; 5) Medicare; 6) Supplemental
Security Income (SSI). Contact your Local Social Security
Administration Office three months before you retire or turn age
65.
Disability Insurance
A worker who becomes severely disabled before age 65 can
receive Social Security Disability benefits. You are considered
disabled if you have a severe physical or mental condition which
prevents you from working and is expected to last for at least 12
months. Disability benefits begin on the sixth full month of your
disability and continue as long as you are unable to perform
substantial gainful work.
45
Medicare is a Federal health insurance program for people 65 or
older and certain disabled people. Medicare has two parts –
hospital insurance and medical insurance. Hospital insurance
can help pay for inpatient hospital care, inpatient care in the
skilled nursing facility and home health care. Medical insurance
can help pay for medically necessary doctor’s services, outpatient hospital services, and a number of other medical services
and supplies that are not covered by the hospital insurance part
of Medicare. Medical insurance also can pay for home health
care services. Men and women who are not receiving monthly
social security checks should contact a social security
administration representative three months before they turn 65 to
sign up for Medicare. Those people currently receiving social
security checks will receive their Medicare care in the mail
automatically.
46
Retirement
Farm
Retirement income for workers and their spouses can start as
early as age 62 (monthly benefits are permanently reduced if the
worker or spouse choose to start collecting benefits before age
65.) When you apply for Social Security Benefits, you should
have: 1) your Social Security; 2) Proof of your age, a Birth
Certificate or Baptismal Certificate; 3) your Marriage Certificate if
you are applying for wife’s, widow’s or widower’s benefits; 4) your
W-2 forms for the last two years of employment or a copy of your
last two Federal income tax returns if you were self-employed.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

people 65 and older or blind/disabled individuals who have
limited income and resources. To qualify, an individual is
allowed up to $2,000 in liquid assets and a couple may have up
to $3,000.
The ownership of a home, care and ordinary
household furnishings are not counted as assets. You must
provide proof of your income and assets. If you are eligible to
receive SSI payments, you will automatically receive Medical
Assistance Health Insurance (Medicaid). Some people qualify
for both regular Social Security benefits and SSI, some for Social
Security only, and some for SSI only.
Survivor’s Insurance
Survivor’s benefits are available to families of insured workers
who die at any age. Benefits are paid to the deceased worker’s
spouse or divorced spouse if they are married at least 10 years.
You must be at least 60 years old or 50 years old and disabled to
receive this benefit. You must provide the same information
