Kosovo refugees account for 17 of the current FIP cases. The success of this effort is reflected in the decrease in the FIP caseloads and more customers who have taken advantage of our supportive services to get jobs and stay in the work force. Current and former FIP recipients continue to receive employment supports that enable them to become self-sufficient. Some of those supports include day care, food stamps and medical assistance. June data show 69,889 families qualified for day care assistance from FIA, representing 128,465 children.
Families receiving the benefits get a check instead of food stamp coupons.
