Gov. Tony Evers signed Assembly Bill (AB) 180, now 2025 Wisconsin Act 116, on Monday to support the state’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as FoodShare in Wisconsin. 

 

The program provides food assistance to over 700,000 Wisconsinites, including 270,000 kids.  

The bill is designed to reduce FoodShare payment errors and aims to save Wisconsin taxpayers from potentially having to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in penalty fees to the Donald Trump Administration due to new changes under Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill.
