23. MINNESOTA FAMILY INVESTMENT PROGRAM (MFIP) Target population Families on social welfare The minnesota family InvestmentProgram (MFIP), implemented between 1994 and 1998, was designed to function as http://www.childtrends.org/Lifecourse/programs/MinnesotaFamilyInvestmentProgram.

Guide to Effective Programs for Children and Youth MINNESOTA FAMILY INVESTMENT PROGRAM (MFIP) OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM Target population: Families on social welfare As hinted to in (b), MFIP was designed to provide slightly different services according to whether the participant family was a long-term welfare recipient or a short(er)-term welfare recipient. Families that had already experienced "long-term receipt" (over 24 months during the 36-month period prior to program entry) were immediately required to participate in the employment-focused services. Shorter-term recipients and new applicants to welfare were not required to participate in these services at the debut of the program, but could be required to if they later became "long-term recipients." Only families with children under the age of 1 or in which the parent was working 30 or more hours per week were exempt from these mandatory services. Financial sanctions were levied for non-exempt families that did not participate. EVALUATION(S) OF PROGRAM Evaluated population: 14,000 families in need of social welfare in three urban and four rural Minnesota counties were randomly assigned to either MFIP or AFDC; for the following information on children's outcomes, however, data were drawn from a subset of urban single mothers with a child between 2 and 9 at the debut of the program.

The report also found that children spent more time in stable, formal child care combined with higher family employment and income. This assessment adds to the urgency for the Administration's $817 million proposal to help more parents find reliable, affordable and quality child care. "A key feature of the program is that it enabled working families to supplement earnings and truly make work pay. This feature appears to be central to the strong results and adds urgency to state and Federal efforts to provide supports to working families, including child care, health care, nutritional assistance, and earnings supplements such as the EITC. "We have more to do. Congress must not pass up the opportunity this year to support more working families and increase federal child care funds. States must not pass up the opportunity to invest now in well-designed programs to reach all families on the welfare rolls with the chance for self-sufficiency. We, at HHS, will continue to encourage and support research and evaluation to share valuable information on how welfare reform is progressing."

Minnesota is facing a significant budget deficit, and the Minnesota legislature is struggling to address the deficit by reducing spending in all Minnesota programs. Disability advocates are watching proposals closely and getting information out to the community about proposed program reductions and how they may affect individuals with disabilities. These potential reductions and cuts may significantly impact the services provided to children and individuals with disabilities.

Questions? Privacy Site Index Contact Us ... Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) Search Type Title Author/Investigator Search Advanced Search Overview The following were the key features of the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP): 1) requiring long-term public assistance recipients to participate in intensive employment/training services, including mandatory case management; 2) making work pay by increasing earned income disregards up to an income threshold; 3) consolidating benefits and simplifying rules/procedures for TANF, General Assistance and Food Stamps. Policy impact questions were: (1) Was self-sufficiency increased according to various measures of employment, earnings and income? (2) Was welfare use reduced according to various measures of the duration and amount of welfare receipt? (3) Was participation in program activities and use of program services increased, according to such measures as attendance at, and completion of, assigned training or employment activities? Questions related to policy impact on family structure and stability, child well-being, and health benefits were also explored. The evaluation was based on a random assignment experiment in 8 counties, 4 rural and 4 urban. Impacts, implementation and operation were observed using a baseline survey at intake, staff surveys, client field surveys, administrative records, program documents, and site observations. The evaluation produced reports of process, impact and cost/benefit analyses.
