Michigan Launches Rx Kids Program to Provide $1,500 Stimulus and Monthly Support for New Families
According to Marca, in Michigan, the state has introduced a substantial $1,500 Child Stimulus payment aimed at easing financial pressures on families, particularly in Flint. This initiative, part of the Rx Kids program, offers significant support to young parents and pregnant women. The program, which started in January 2024, provides a $1,500 payment to pregnant women and an additional $500 each month during the child’s first year, potentially totaling up to $7,500 per family.
The program’s goal is to alleviate the burden of rising costs due to hyperinflation and stagnant wages, which have intensified financial strain on medium-to-low earners. By providing this financial assistance, Michigan hopes to support families in managing essential expenses and address the nation’s declining birth rate.
