The Promise and Reach of Supplemental Security Income in Wisconsin
A study highlights SSI impact across rural Wisconsin. It aids an elderly widow, a developmentally disabled young worker, and parents of a severely disabled child, boosting local economy and dignity. Many qualify yet fail to apply due to awareness or stigma. SSI rules include age 65 or disabled adults and children, income and asset limits, and potential monthly payments up to 442.72 single, 675.86 couple, with assets caps and exempt items. A free SSI booklet is available at Social Security offices.

Farm Congress backed by Wisconsin Farmers Union
Roger Johnson urged Gov. Thompson not to veto the state Farm Congress as part of the budget bill. He warned a veto could spell the death knell for the new body which would advise the Department of Agriculture on policy, akin to the Wisconsin Conservation Congress. The Chippewa Falls based union also urged preserving a morning milk program for school children.
