MINNESOTA FAMILY INVESTMENT PROGRAM (MFIP) The Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) is a welfare reform initiative developed in response to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act that created welfare reform. MFIP is jointly administered by the Minnesota Departments of Economic Security and Human Services. MFIP combines four programs that simplify and streamline program administration. The program’s focus is to move families on the most direct path to unsubsidized employment. For most recipients, participation in this program is mandatory and benefits are limited to 60 months in a lifetime. Various services are available to help recipients become self-sufficient. All recipients receive an assessment and an employment plan that outlines mutually agreeable steps necessary to become self-sufficient. Two parent families are required to participate in employment services immediately. Single-parent families are required to participate within six months of receiving assistance although counties have the option of requiring single parents to participate sooner. The program expects participants to take responsibility for supporting their families within time limits or their benefits will be reduced. They do not go off public assistance until they earn up to 120 percent of the poverty level. Participants are always better off working due to financial incentives. The MFIP program is administered by a Hennepin County/City of Minneapolis Partnership with 24 certified service providers at 37 locations. Please refer to the

In this Breakthrough Series Collaborative (BSC), public child welfare agencies and Tribes that share a commitment to improving the way they recruit and retain resource families, including foster, kinship, and adoptive families, and to making major, rapid changes that will produce breakthrough results, will be brought together to share knowledge, challenges, and successes. Each selected public child welfare agency or Tribe has put together a team that will work together to make changes and implement new systems over the course of one year. The teams from across the country will be guided and mentored by experts in the field as they study, test, and implement the latest knowledge and evidence available. All participating four-person teams will come together for three two-day Learning Sessions and will be expected to test changes and measure the impact of these changes between the Learning Sessions. Please review the Collaborative Charter (below) for more specific information about this project.

news freetime travel homezone ... classifieds index summer camps books fun facts health/science ... horoscopes archive stories photo reprints projects contact us corrections feedback One Minnesota family loves watching the Vikings on TV. But, whew! Those ads! H.J. Cummins, Star Tribune Published November 14, 2001 COMVAR One recent Sunday afternoon, Josh and Beth Nelson's family in Buffalo, Minn., saw aliens, carnal temptations and violence against women. "OK, it was on TV," Beth Nelson said by way of clarification, "but it was not what we were hoping to see. We wanted to watch the Vikings game as a family." Instead, they found that along with first downs, touchbacks and field goals came commercials for beer, "The X-Files" and a new movie about Jack the Ripper. Suddenly, two parents who'd hoped to add all-American sports to their youngsters' PBS-heavy viewing felt blindsided by the ads larding the program. "We're not prudes, and by no means protectionist," Josh said, "but why do they have to run this stuff on a Sunday afternoon, when children are watching?" The Nelson family has stumbled into a virtual no-man's-land of television: its commercials. The only legal limitation on content is a prohibition against cigarette ads. Any restraints on alcohol commercials are voluntary.

It did a great job of showing the personal struggles and triumphs many families encounter as they move from welfare to work. The parents the series profiled, and many others who face difficult challenges, deserve praise and encouragement as they work to make better lives for themselves and their children. Community leaders and countless volunteers who are developing creative solutions, filling in the gaps between government programs and providing invaluable personal support should also be thanked. And we should recognize the human service workers and job counselors, in government and nonprofit agencies, for their frontline work in a new and very different approach to helping low-income families. So far, the Minnesota Family Investment Program, or MFIP, is working well. More than a third of single parents participating in MFIP are working and 59 percent of two-parent families are in the work force. Family incomes are increasing. We can claim significant but not total success. The welfare system does not work well for all families.
