Update on FoodShare Renewals and Six-Month Reports

In a continued effort to help protect the health and safety of members during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) will be postponing FoodShare renewals and eliminating FoodShare Six-Month Reports that were due in December 2020, January 2021, and February 2021. DHS is able to make these temporary program adjustments due to provisions in the federal Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 and Other Extensions Act.

FoodShare members who would have had a renewal due in December, January, or February will now need to complete their renewal in June, July, or August 2021. They will receive a renewal letter prior to having to complete their renewal.

Additionally, FoodShare members who would have had a Six-Month Report due in December 2020, January 2021, or February 2021 will not receive a paper report form in the mail and will not need to complete and submit their report.
