The Katie Beckett program is a funding source that allows parents to apply for Medicaid insurance coverage for their child with a developmental or medical disability. When the parents’ income is higher than allowed under the SSI/Social Security rules, but the child’s disability results in a high amount of out-of-pocket expenses, Katie Beckett can provide that coverage.
This program is not part of the Human Services Department. In Racine, the program is administered by DDIS. They may be reached at 262-637-2707.
