How to use this guide

How to use the Wisconsin manual

How this manual is organised. None of it is a requirement or a recommendation.

  1. Step 1

    Read it in any order

    There is no front-to-back order and no required first step. Open whichever category is relevant to you.

  2. Step 2

    Read the section, not the whole manual

    Each section describes what the listed programs are, what their own rules say, and which documents they ask for.

  3. Step 3

    Confirm with the official source

    Every section links to the agency or program that publishes the rules. Their page is always more current than any summary of it.

  4. Step 4

    Come back when something changes

    Programs change, and so do situations. The manual is written to be re-entered rather than finished.

Prefer one situation walked through step by step? Guided journeys are the shorter path.
