Wisconsin Advisory Referendum

Wisconsin Work Requirement for Welfare Benefits Advisory Question

Question 3, the state-wide advisory question, would ask voters if able-bodied childless adults should be required to look for work in order to receive welfare benefits. The question is not legally binding and would not enact a work requirement law for welfare benefits. Currently, state law requires able-bodied individuals without dependents to look for work in order to receive unemployment insurance. There is also a work requirement for Wisconsin's food stamp program, Wisconsin Foodshare, but the requirement has been waived since October 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ballot Wording Shall able-bodied, childless adults be required to look for work in order to receive taxpayer-funded welfare benefits?
YES A "yes" vote supports advising the state legislature to require "able-bodied, childless adults... to look for work in order to receive taxpayer-funded welfare benefits."
NO A "no" vote opposes advising the state legislature to require "able-bodied, childless adults... to look for work in order to receive taxpayer-funded welfare benefits."
