Resources from Last week's webinar
On the October 3rd webinar we talked about:
-
Oct 1st was a big day, it’s the start of a new federal fiscal year and the beginning of when SNAP cuts from HR 1 start to impact states. State legislatures must act quickly to approve additional money so Wisconsin can meet the new requirements and keep the state’s error rate low.
- The federal government shut down Wed Oct 1st. What’s happening and what’s next?
- Congress has introduced a bill national disability advocates are concerned would drive much more Medicaid dollars into institutionalization.
- There’s continuing uncertainty about whether Congress will extend ACA subsidies.
- Updates on autism research, federal vaccine policy, potential tariffs, draft rules show big changes on who will get federal housing aid, and states struggle to handle SNAP and Medicaid changes coming because of HR 1.
