Work First Family Assistance provides cash assistance and Medicaid coverage to families with minor children. In cases involving the absence of a parent from the home, a referral is sent to the State Child Support Enforcement Agency to locate the absent parent, establish paternity, and set up a plan of support. Work First regulations also require participation in work activities.
