The Cheboygan County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Resolution No. 11 on Nov. 4, 2025, asking the State of Wisconsin to provide funding and support to cover administrative costs for income‑maintenance programs that have shifted from federal to state responsibility.

Administrator Krause said the resolution mirrors language drafted by the Wisconsin Counties Association and estimates roughly $17,900,000 in annual administrative costs have moved from federal to state budgets. “We anticipate that will ultimately fall to counties because we provide those services on behalf of the state,” Krause said, warning that increased eligibility requirements at the federal level will raise county workload and could jeopardize the error rate, which in turn could trigger penalties.

The resolution asks the state to offset the approximately $17.9 million in administrative costs and to provide either staffing or technology to help keep the error rate below 6 percent to avoid significant penalties.

Supervisor Gering moved approval of Resolution 11 and Supervisor Koch seconded; the clerk recorded a unanimous vote with 24 supervisors present.

The meeting transcript does not include a line‑by‑line text of the resolution beyond the summary provided by the administrator; specifics about how the state would deliver funding, or timing for such assistance, were not specified in the board discussion.
