  • Food Assistance Program benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
  • Cash assistance under the Family Independence Program or Refugee Cash Assistance program
  • Healthcare coverage, including Medicaid, Healthy Michigan Plan and MIChild.
    State Emergency Relief
  • Child Development and Care (childcare reimbursement)
  • Women, Infant and Children (WIC)
