Rx Kids, the Michigan cash aid initiative for moms and babies, received its largest funding boost yet in the newly approved state budget, setting the program up to potentially help tens of thousands more infants in the next few years. The budget, which Michigan lawmakers sent to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Friday, Oct. 3, includes $270 million for the fast-growing program — $20 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding and $250 million from the Healthy Michigan fund as a one time allocation for three years.
