WELFARE REFORM IN MICHIGAN
Overview
TO STRENGTHEN MICHIGAN FAMILIES
Michigan implemented To Strengthen Michigan Families (TSMF) in October 1992. Based on federal policy waivers, this
welfare reform initiative encouraged work and personal responsibility. TSMF included policies that:
•
•
•
•
Encouraged employment
Targeted child support
Increased personal responsibility
Involved communities
Among the TSMF policy initiatives were the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Encouraging parents to remain together by eliminating work history requirements and work limitations.
Disregarding the first $200 plus 20% of the remaining earned income from cash assistance payments.
Providing transitional child care and medical coverage when cash assistance ends due to earnings.
Enhancing child support enforcement tools.
Requiring minor parents to live at home or with an adult guardian.
To symbolize Michigan's TSMF efforts and to reflect the department's changing mission, in 1995 the Michigan Department
of Social Services was renamed the Michigan Family Independence Agency. On March 15, 2005 the Michigan Family
Independence Agency was renamed the Michigan Department of Human Services (DHS).
In 1995, DHS also instituted new sanction policies to require cash assistance recipients to cooperate with employment
and training expectations. Failure to cooperate resulted in cash assistance and food assistance payments being reduced
by 25%. After 12 months of non-cooperation the cash assistance and food assistance cases were closed.
Policies were also implemented during this time to require FIP applicants to attend orientation sessions conducted by the
Family Independence Agency and Michigan Works! Agency as a condition of eligibility for benefits. The orientations were
used to outline job readiness and job search requirements as a condition of eligibility.
-1-
EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS
While Project Zero has been discontinued, the goals and strategies remain and have been incorporated into DHS
operations. The goal of Project Zero was to achieve 100% employment for all FIP clients who are required to work. DHS
staff continues to work with clients to identify barriers to employment and to provide the necessary resources to eliminate
those barriers. Federal regulations require that states with TANF programs meet federal work participation requirements.
TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES
Federal welfare reform legislation created the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant that
became effective in October 1996. TANF consolidated federal funding for Aid to Families with Dependent Children
(AFDC), Emergency Assistance and AFDC job training into a single block grant. Separate funding was provided for child
care to support work and work-related activities.
The flexibility contained in TANF allows Michigan to continue and expand policies implemented under TSMF that
encourage self-sufficiency and support independence. TANF is used to fund Michigan's cash assistance program for
families in addition to a range of financial and social services for those who are poor or vulnerable.
TANF policies and initiatives implemented in 1996 and 1997 included:
•
The Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program became the Michigan Family Independence Program. This
change emphasized and supported Michigan's welfare reform philosophy and goal of self-sufficiency.
•
Eligibility, employment and day care workers became Family Independence Specialists, who called on
applicants/recipients in their homes and provided social services. Other workers became Eligibility Specialists who
handled non-family cases.
•
Sanctions were implemented for new FIP recipients who failed to cooperate with employment and training
requirements. Those who did not cooperate with employment and training expectations had their grant and food
assistance reduced by 25%. After four months of non-cooperation cases were closed.
•
To encourage work, FIP applications counted only cash assets, and the personal asset limit for eligibility was
increased to $3,000.
-2-
TANF policies implemented in 1998 and 1999 included:
•
All employable adult recipients were referred to Work First and were required to remain active (or face case closure).
•
Michigan Works! Agencies expanded opportunities for post-employment training for recipients.
•
Michigan Works! Agencies combined education and training, classroom time and unsubsidized employment as ways
to meet TANF work participation requirements.
TANF policies implemented from 2000 to the present include:
•
Transitional Medical Assistance was implemented to provide one-year of additional Medicaid coverage to working
families not covered by health care whose cash assistance case closed because of income.
•
Cash assistance recipients are required to participate in employment or employment-related activities up to 40 hours
per week.
•
The sanction for failure to cooperate with employment and training requirements is immediate closure.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Overview
Financial assistance programs help to meet the financial needs of qualifying individuals and families who need temporary
assistance.
Family Independence Program
The Family Independence Program (FIP) provides monthly cash assistance benefits for families in need. This cash
assistance helps offset some of the costs of housing, heat, utilities, personal needs (clothing, household items, etc.), and
food. FIP recipients are also eligible for Food Assistance benefits, Medicaid and a range of employment and family
support services.
Food Assistance Program
The Food Assistance Program is a financial resource to help low-income individuals and families purchase food. Food
Assistance benefits cannot be used to purchase nonfood items such as soap, over-the-counter medicines or vitamins,
paper products, etc.
State Disability Assistance Program
State Disability Assistance (SDA) is a financial assistance program for disabled adults who are unable to work. SDA
recipients have little or no resources to buy food, clothing, shelter and personal items. The monthly cash assistance is
intended to cover these basic needs. Recipients are also eligible for Food Assistance.
Supplemental Security Income
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides financial assistance to those who are aged, blind or disabled. Eligibility is
based on income and assets. Funding is primarily federal and is administered through the Social Security Administration.
The state provides and funds an additional supplemental benefit. SSI recipients are automatically eligible for Medicaid.
-5-
Child Development and Care
The Child Development and Care (CDC) Program helps low-income families with child care costs related to employment,
education activities and for treatment of a social or health circumstance. Families who receive assistance or services
under certain DHS programs are automatically eligible for CDC benefits without considering the amount of their income.
Child Care benefits for low-income families are based on family size and income.
Child Support Program
The Child Support Program assists in obtaining child support benefits from absent parents, locating parents, establishing
and enforcing support orders, establishing paternity, and collecting child support payments. In Michigan, there is a
cooperative effort with the Friends of the Court, prosecuting attorneys, and Office of Child Support staff to provide
services. Services are available to anyone receiving public assistance or upon signed request.

TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES (TANF)
Five Year Time Limit
In August 1996 “The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996” or PRWORA was signed into
law. The new welfare reform law (Public Law 104-193) created a program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or
TANF, in recognition of its focus on moving recipients into work and time-limited assistance. The law stipulates that states may
not use federal TANF funds to provide assistance to a family that includes an adult who has received assistance for more than
five years. The five-year limit on federal funding is calculated as a cumulative total of 60 months beginning with October 1996.
The law allows some families to receive assistance from federal TANF funds for more than five years based on hardship. The
average monthly number of families in hardship status may not exceed 20% of the state’s average monthly caseload during
that fiscal year.
In Michigan:
•
Family Independence Program (FIP) recipients begin receiving federally funded TANF assistance in October 1996. FIP
recipients began exceeding the 60-month limit on federally funded benefits in October 2001 (the first month of FY 2002).
•
Michigan defines hardship as length of time on assistance. Thus, all cases exceeding the 60-month time limit will meet the
hardship definition.
•
In FY 2004 - which ended September 30, 2004 - Michigan had 9,014 FIP cases that exceeded the 60-month time limit and
were exempted as hardship cases.
•
The number of FIP cases that have exceeded the 60-month time is 10,068 for FY 2005.
•
The estimates for both FY 2004 and FY 2005 are within the 20% hardship allowance and may continue to be funded with
federal TANF benefits.

The number of children receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) has increased for the last three years. In 1996 federal
welfare reform legislation established a new childhood disability standard that restricts the number of children eligible for SSI.
SSI was also eliminated for recipients whose sole disability was due to drug abuse or alcoholism (3/96).

Michigan's net child support collections increased steadily from 1994-2002 and then moderately decreased FY 2003. The FY 2003
decrease in FIP related cases was due to a FIP caseload decrease and a change in TANF regulations limiting the amount of
Child Support Arrearages that can be assigned to the state. FY 2004 collections once again moved higher, and then moderately dipped in FY 2005.
Data Source: OCS 34a Report (lines 7aE & 8E).
* Beginning in FY 1999 the method for obtaining the non-FIP collections changed. This Federally required change resulted in higher collection figures.
Note : The totals are final, year-end adjusted amounts.

CHILDREN'S SERVICES
Overview
Children's Protective Services (CPS)
Michigan law mandates these services to help prevent harm to children from non-accidental physical or mental injury,
sexual abuse, exploitation or neglect by a person responsible for the child's health or welfare. The Department of Human
Services (DHS) staff provide assistance through investigating and substantiating reports of abuse and neglect. CPS staff
members also work with families to enhance their ability to care for children, refer families to appropriate community
resources, coordinate community service programs and provide public information on neglect and abuse. When
necessary to promote the safety of children, CPS staff petition the court for removal of children from abuse and neglect
situations.
Children's Foster Care
This program is available for children who cannot safely remain in their own homes because of incidents of serious abuse
and/or neglect. Foster care services are delivered through a partnership between the DHS and private childcare
organizations. About 63% of children placed in a foster home living arrangement are supervised through contracts with
private agencies. The program supervises children placed out-of-home and works with families for reunification, if
possible. It also seeks permanent homes for children when return is not possible and, when necessary, petitions the court
for legal termination of parental rights. Out of home placement includes DHS and private agency foster homes, public
shelter homes, residential care centers, private institutions and others.
Adoption
The Department of Human Services and private adoption agencies under contract to the department work to provide
permanent homes for children who are permanent state wards under agency supervision. In some cases, DHS can also
provide a subsidy to support day-to-day care of the children, treatment of medical conditions, or both. Adoption
finalizations of state and court wards totaled 2,417 in fiscal year 1999, 2,775 in 2000, 2,927 in 2001, 2,833 in 2002, and
2,467 in 2003. DHS adoption subsidies provide basic support for adopted special needs children. In January 2004, DHS
was paying 23,508 adoption subsidies at an average payment of $674 per month.
-41-
Juvenile Justice Services
Juvenile Justice Services provides for the care and supervision of delinquent youth referred to the department from the
circuit courts. A variety of public placement options are available ranging from community-based programs to secure
facilities. All treatment programs are comprehensive, individualized and provide educational services, counseling,
employment services, family assistance, crisis intervention and recreation. Based on client needs, the department has
increased treatment capacity for special needs youth with substance abuse and/or sex offense backgrounds. When
possible, the youth's family is incorporated into the total treatment program. To support local alternatives, the department
assists local offices in developing family or community-based options to divert youth from residential centers or to
accelerate reintegration of youth returned to the community.
The DHS operates residential treatment beds in campus-based programs at the following sites: W. J. Maxey Training
School near Whitmore Lake; Shawono Center, Grayling; Nokomis Challenge Program, Prudenville; Adrian Training
School, Adrian; Bay Pines Center, Escanaba; Arbor Heights Center, Ann Arbor; and community-based residential care
centers in Flint, Bay City, Kalamazoo and Lansing.
Prevention Services to Families
This program offers home-based family-focused services designed to prevent child abuse and neglect by preserving and
strengthening family life. Statewide, DHS workers serve high-risk families by providing voluntary support services in the
family home; improving parenting, child care, homemaking and money management skills; connecting families to
resources; reducing family dependency on social services; and increasing self sufficiency. Successful closure is defined
as an improvement in family functioning and the absence of the risk of child abuse and neglect.
-42-
CHILDREN'S SERVICES
Special Initiatives
Families First of Michigan
Families First of Michigan is an intensive, safe, short-term in-home crisis intervention and family education program
available in all 83 counties. It is designed to serve the most severe multi-problem families in which at least one child is at
imminent risk of being placed out of home because of abuse, neglect or delinquency. The resource is available to juvenile
courts, tribal social services and community mental health agencies.
Strong Families/Safe Children (SF/SC)
The federal Promoting Safe and Stable Families initiative, named Strong Families/Safe Children in Michigan, is a
statewide collaborative effort which involves state and local human services departments (Michigan departments of
Community Health and Education, Office of Services to the Aging and the Department of Human Services), public and
private services, organizations, universities, courts, businesses, the faith community, parents and recipients. The
Department of Human Services is the designated fiduciary for the SF/SC funds and provides program support for the
initiative. SF/SC encourages local communities to come together to plan and implement a seamless system of services
for children and families. With the goals of safe children and nurturing families, each local collaborative body is charged
with assessing local resources, needs and gaps in services, developing a long-term plan for improving positive results for
children and families, implementing the plan and tracking performance.
Family Reunification Program
The Family Reunification Program is designed to prevent repeated out-of-home placements and assist in early
reunification of children with their families, when out-of-home placement has occurred. Family reunification staff work with
families to participate in a strength-based assessment, family or individual therapy, parenting skills classes and family
workshops. Staff also conduct ongoing assessments of the risk to children throughout the program. Family reunification
staff work as a team.
-43-
Child Protection: Working Together As Community Partners
Child Protection: Working Together As Community Partners is a statewide collaborative effort that required local
communities to develop a 3-year plan that provides services to children and families that are Categories III and IV (low or
moderate risk) Children's Protective Services cases. The purpose of this TANF-funded initiative is to reduce child abuse
and neglect as determined by the number of re-referrals. Each county receives annual funds from a $7 million statewide
allocation.

EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAMS
Overview
Family Independence Program families with an adult who receives assistance are required to participate in Michigan
Works! Agency (MWA) employment and training programs to increase their employability and find employment, unless
they are temporarily deferred. Deferred FIP clients may volunteer to participate in Work First. The employment program
components are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Work First
Food Assistance Employment and Training Program
Employment-Related Activities
Employment Support Services
Family Support Services
Personal Responsibility Plan and Family Contract (PRPFC)
Non-Cash Recipient Employment and Training Program
Work First is the employment program for Family Independence Program applicants and recipients administered by the
Department of Labor and Economic Growth (DLEG) through local Michigan Works! Agencies (MWAs). FIP applicants
and recipients are required to participate with the Work First program unless they are exempt. The goal for Work First
participants is FIP case closure due to self-sufficiency. MWAs will continue to serve all Work First participants until their
FIP case is closed by DHS, until they are referred back to FIA due to failure to participate or until they enter a deferral
category. The Family Independence Agency will refer to Work First every non-deferred mandatory participant except
minor parents attending GED or high school completion programs; those participating in a transitional housing program or
Michigan Rehabilitation Services; and VISTA, Job Corps and AmeriCorps participants.
Food Assistance Employment and Training Program: The Food Assistance employment and training program serves
Time-Limited Food Assistance-only recipients who are required to work or meet other requirements. The program is
provided through the local Michigan Works! Agencies.
Employment-Related Activities: Adult Family Independence Program (FIP) recipients and Food Assistance-only
recipients must participate in employment-related activities unless they are deferred. These activities are:
•
Employment or self-employment at the applicable federal or state minimum wage for the required number of
hours per week
•
Full-time elementary or high school attendance by a 16-19 year old FIP dependent child or a teen parent
-64-
•
Half-time school for Food Assistance-only clients
•
20 hours per week of unsubsidized employment, plus 10 hours of classes for high school or GED completion,
for FIP adults
•
10 hours per week of unsubsidized employment, plus 10 hours of vocational or occupational training classes,
plus 10 hours of study time, for FIP adults
•
30 hours per week in condensed vocational education
•
Full-time internships, practicums and clinical experience
•
Participation in VISTA, Job Corps or AmeriCorps
•
Participation (20/30/35 hours per week) in a HUD or MSHDA transitional housing program
Employment Support Services (ESS) and Emergency Employment Support Services are available from DHS and
the MWA to support a recipients’ participation in employment and training activities. Emergency ESS are available from
DHS for parents or caretaker relatives working at least 20 hours per week in families receiving child care, food assistance
or Medicaid. Emergency ESS are available from the MWA for adults or caretaker relatives in families receiving child care
or food assistance.
Family Support Services are available through DHS for FIP recipients who are participating in Work First or recipients
who are deferred to prepare them for when their deferral ends. These are services not available through the Work First
program, such as counseling and classes in life skills, which address family issues that will help families to selfsufficiency.
Personal Responsibility Plan and Family Contract: Family Independence Program recipients and DHS workers are
required to develop a Personal Responsibility Plan and Family Contract (PRPFC). The purpose of the contract is to
specify the client’s and agency’s responsibilities and to plan for achieving the goal of self-sufficiency. Each applicant or
recipient signs the contract, which indicates an agreement to participate in activities that will increase financial
independence.
Non-Cash Recipient Employment and Training Program: Adults or caretaker relatives in families receiving child care,
Food Assistance or Medicaid are eligible for employment and training activities from the MWA. The MWAs have lists of
potentially eligible participants from DHS and will use them for outreach.

Poverty Thresholds: The poverty thresholds for the United States are computed annually by the Bureau of the Census as a means for counting the
nation's low-income population. The poverty thresholds form the basis for all other poverty levels used by the Federal Government including the
poverty income guidelines (discussed on the following page). The poverty thresholds are generally used by the Family Independence Agency and
others for determining the number of people in poverty and for presenting data that classify low-income people by type of residence, race, and
other social, economic and demographic characteristics. The poverty thresholds are updated annually by the percentage change in the Consumer
Price Index. The Department of Human Services does not calculate separate poverty thresholds for Michigan. However, for budget and program
purposes DHS does calculate poverty thresholds for future years based on projected increases in the CPI. The 2005 and FY 2006
Poverty Thresholds are based on projected increases in the U.S. CPI-U of 3.3% in 2005, and 2.9% in 2006.
**
Final 2002 Poverty Thresholds released by the Census Bureau in September, 2003, were moderately revised in January, 2004.
Those changes are reflected in the "2002 Thresholds" (above).
***
The 2004 Thresholds were "Final" (Released August 2005).
****
The 2005 and 2006 figures are Budget and Policy Analysis Division projections (October, 2005).

The Federal poverty income guidelines (above) are a simplified version of the Federal Government's official statistical poverty thresholds (previous
page). Developed and issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), they are used by the Department of Human Services and
others for administrative purposes such as determining whether a person or family is financially eligible for assistance or services under a particular
Federal program.
FY 2006 Guidelines are Budget and Policy Analysis Division projections (October 2005).
