Individuals or families who use FoodShare Wisconsin include people of all ages who are employed but have low incomes, are living on small or fixed incomes, have lost their jobs, or have disabilities and cannot work.
An individual or family does not need to be eligible for, or apply for, W-2 Wisconsin Works to qualify for FoodShare benefits.
U.S. citizens and certain citizens of other countries who live in the United States legally and permanently may qualify for FoodShare benefits.
People affected by natural disasters may be eligible for FoodShare benefits. If a natural disaster (flood, tornado, etc.) occurs, special procedures and a simplified application process are used to issue FoodShare benefits quickly to victims of the disaster.
FoodShare Wisconsin can replace food purchased with FoodShare benefits that were destroyed in a household misfortune or disaster.
