Fax Your Wisconsin Benefits Paperwork
The fax line each Wisconsin agency publishes for Medicaid and CHIP, SNAP, unemployment, state leave benefits, and state tax, with what that office asks you to put on every page.
10 pages free every month. No credit card.
Where to fax it
3 of the 4 Wisconsin agencies below publish a fax line for their documents, and one publishes only a line for a particular form or an appeal. Call the number in the row before you send.
The office asks for your case number on every page. Put it on every page you send, and keep the fax receipt. An office that cannot match a page to a case has to set it aside, and the receipt is what proves you sent it before the deadline.
Call before you send. Agency fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the number and whether that office is the one holding your case.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services asks for photocopies rather than original documents with an application, so a faxed copy is what the agency expects.
Milwaukee Enrollment Services asks for a document tracking sheet with every fax, which is the condition the Milwaukee line carries and the Janesville line does not.
Wisconsin processes a FoodShare application as soon as possible and no later than 30 days from the date it is received, and names the name, address and signature page as what sets the filing date.
The Wisconsin Unemployment Help Center asks that anything faxed or mailed to it be information supporting the claim or the claimant's eligibility for benefits.
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue asks that a credit review response be sent as the letter itself directs, since the letter carries the identifiers that match the response to the account.
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue says a credit review takes about eight to twelve weeks after it receives all the requested information.

What the fax costs on FaxTerra
This is what FaxTerra charges to send it. It is not a fee the office charges.
Every FaxTerra account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A renewal or verification packet of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.
Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second packet in the same month takes you past 10 pages, a FaxTerra Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.
Questions
What do I put on every page I fax to a Wisconsin agency?
Your case or client number, your name, and your date of birth, unless the row below says the office asks for something else. A page that arrives without a case number has to be matched by hand, which is the slowest path through any agency.
Can I fax a Wisconsin agency without a fax machine?
Yes. Upload the pages from your phone or computer, enter the office's fax number, and send. The agency receives it as a fax. Every account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one.
What if the fax line does not answer?
Call the number in that office's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed or whether it wants the document another way.
Is this an official Wisconsin site?
No. FaxTerra is a fax service. Wisconsin and the office you are writing to set the rules and decide your case; every number and requirement here is linked to the agency's own page under official sources.
