The Family Independence Program, also known as FIP, is Michigan’s temporary cash assistance program for eligible pregnant women and low-income families with minor children. The program provides cash assistance to help families meet basic needs while working toward stability and self-sufficiency. Applicants can apply online through MI Bridges, contact a local MDHHS office, request a paper application, or apply in person at a local MDHHS office. Adults receiving FIP may be required to participate in PATH, Michigan’s work participation program, unless exempt.
