The maximum cash grant for the Minnesota Family Investment Program will increase for the first time since 1986 beginning tomorrow.
According to a release from the Minnesota Department of Human Services, MFIP provides temporary income support and employment services to families with children experiencing poverty.
This increase, proposed by the Walz-Flanagan Administration, was approved by the 2019 Minnesota Legislature.
The maximum increase is $100 per month, and most families will begin seeing an increase in their cash assistance in February.
