Wisconsin Order on Eligibility to Receive or Receipt of Emergency Assistance (Small Claims) is a document issued by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (DCF) that authorizes the receipt of emergency assistance. This document is required for individuals seeking to receive emergency assistance from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS). It is typically used to receive temporary assistance for basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and other necessities. The Wisconsin Order on Eligibility to Receive or Receipt of Emergency Assistance (Small Claims) can be issued for two different types of assistance: 1) Emergency Assistance Payment (EAP): This type of assistance is provided to individuals who are facing an immediate financial hardship due to an unforeseen event or circumstance. The EAP is intended to provide short-term relief for basic needs. 2) Emergency Assistance for Families (EAT): This type of assistance is provided to families with minor children who are facing an immediate financial hardship due to an unforeseen event or circumstance. The EAT is intended to provide short-term relief for basic needs. To be eligible for either type of assistance, applicants must meet certain eligibility criteria, including income and residency requirements. Applicants must also submit a completed Wisconsin Order on Eligibility to Receive or Receipt of Emergency Assistance (Small Claims) form to the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families. Once approved, the Wisconsin Order on Eligibility to Receive or Receipt of Emergency Assistance (Small Claims) will authorize the applicant to receive emergency assistance from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
