In recognition of the extraordinary economic recession Minnesota has experienced since the last legislative session of 2001, we support a general moratorium on the 5-year time limit on cash assistance from the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP).  A moratorium would keep all families from being denied cash assistance due to the exhaustion of their five-year liftime limit until a future date as determined by the Minnesota state legislature and other stakeholders.
