Description

Iowa's Family Investment Program (FIP) gives temporary cash assistance to families with children. FIP is available to one-parent and two-parent families and to relatives caring for children whose parents are not in the home. Federal law limits FIP assistance to a total of 60 months (five years) unless family can prove a reason that they cannot support the family. Payments are based on the size of the family and the family's income. For FIP assistance there must be participation in the PROMISE JOBS program ( a work and training program to help make a plan to become self-supporting).
