The summer program will address the particular needs of our customers who are able to work but have not yet made the transition to employment. The children in these families will also be involved in special activities to enhance their development. The FIA continues to provide work supports for current and former FIP recipients to help them become and remain self-sufficient. Some of those supports include day care, food stamps and eligibility for medical assistance. January 2000 data showed 62,064 families qualified for day care assistance from the FIA, representing 115,162 children.
Eligible families get a check instead of food stamp coupons.
