The Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) is Minnesota's version of TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). MFIP helps families with children meet their basic needs, while helping parents move to financial stability through work. The program provides a monthly cash payment to help supplement a family's income as they move from public assistance to employment. Participants must meet program requirements, or their benefits will be reduced. Lifetime benefits are limited to 60 months. When families first apply for cash assistance, they will start in the Diversionary Work Program (DWP). It is a four-month program that helps parents go to work right away rather than enroll in MFIP.
