FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH MDHHSÂ
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has multiple assistance programs that exist to help individuals in need. MDHHS provides cash assistance, food assistance, childcare assistance, and medical assistance to eligible individuals. Eligibility is based upon need/income level for the majority of these programs.                                                                                                                                                                                     Â
CHILD ONLY GRANTÂ Â (a.k.a. INELIGIBLE GRANTEE AWARD)
Phone: 800-535-1218
While most of the assistance programs available through the MDHHS are based upon a caregiver’s (as head-of-household) income, the Child Only Grant is not. The Child Only Grant (also referred to as an Ineligible Grantee Award) is available for children who are
being raised by a relative who is not a biological parent. This financial assistance is based upon the child’s income and assets, not the caregivers.
To apply for the Child Only Grant:
Go to MDHHS and apply using the “Cash Assistance” button. Make sure to note on the application that you are a Relative Caregiver applying on behalf of the child in your care.
