Here are the most important ones:  \nWhere can I live?  \nIf you are under 18 and want MFIP, the rule is that you have to live:  \n• With one or both parents (the county may use a parent’s income to calculate your MFIP grant)  \n• With a legal guardian  \n• With an approved adult relative (like a grandmother, aunt, uncle)  \n• In an adult-supervised living arrangement  \nBut, this rule does not count if:  \n• You don’t have a parent, proper adult relative, or guardian or don’t know where they are, OR  \n• You lived away from your parents or guardian for a year before your child was born, OR  \n• You lived away from your parents or guardian for a year before you applied for MFIP, OR  \n• Your parents, guardian, or adult relative will not let you live with them, OR  \n• You or your child’s physical or emotional health or safety is in danger if you live with a parent, relative or guardian. If you claim this, the county will refer your case to Child Protection, OR  \n• There is no adult-supervised place for you in the county where you live. If one becomes available, you and your child must live there.  \nThese situations are called exceptions. If you meet any of these exceptions, the county can ask you to live in adult-supervised, supportive living, but they can’t make you.  \nDo I have to go to school?  \nIf you are under 18 and do not have a high school diploma or GED, you will probably have togo to school to get MFIP.  \nBut, you don’t have to go to school if:  \n• You can’t get transportation  \n• You can’t get child care  \n• You are ill or so seriously disabled that you can’t go to school  \n• You are needed at home because someone there is ill or disabled  \n• Your child is less than 6 weeks old  \n• It’s not safe you to go to school because of domestic violence  \nIf you are under 18, the county must make an education plan for you. They must look at your education needs, skills, family issues, child care needs and work history to make the plan. You must follow the education plan, or you will be “sanctioned.”  \nSanctioned means losing some of your MFIP money. You lose 10% of your MFIP the first month. Then you lose 30% the next month. Your benefits will be 30% less every month until you fix the problem.  \nIt is very important to get out of sanction as soon as possible. If you are in sanction for more than 6 months, you will get a 100% sanction. This means your MFIP cash and food support will be closed.  \nIf you are 18 or 19 years old and do not have a high school education or GED, you can either go to school or do an Employment Plan. See our fact sheet MFIP Employment Plans.  \nIs my 5-year clock running?  \nYou can only get MFIP as a parent for a total of 60 months (5 years) in your life.  \nBut if you are under 20 years old and meet school attendance rules, your time on MFIP won’t count toward the 60 months.  \nAlso, any months you got MFIP through your parents does not count. Call legal aid about how to extend your 60 month limit.  \nWhat if I don't agree with the county’s decision about MFIP?  \nYou can appeal a decision by the county if you disagree with it. You have 30 days from the date you get the notice to file an appeal. Call your legal aid office right away.  \nYou can get full benefits during the appeal if you send the appeal  \n• Within 10 days of the date the county mails the notice or  \n• Before the date the termination or cut starts.  \nIf you have “good cause” for being late, you can appeal up to 90 days after the notice. An example of good cause is being sick or out of town when the notice came.  \nThere are 2 ways to get your appeal in:  \nOnline:  \nYou can fill out a form and submit your appeal online.  \n[Go to:](Go to: www.LawHelpMN.org/resource/form-helper)[ ](Go to: www.LawHelpMN.org/resource/form-helper)[www.LawHelpMN.org/resource/form-helper](Go to: www.LawHelpMN.org/resource/form-helper).  \n􀁯 Click on “Government Benefits”  \n􀁯 Click on “Appeal a Decision fo","cbCaiuQ0RW1FBCKE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuQ0RW1FBCKE","pdf",718299,"English","# Where can I live?\n## Exceptions to the living rule\n# Do I have to go to school?\n## Education plan and sanctions\n# Is my 5-year clock running?\n## 60-month limit and extensions\n# What if I don't agree with the county’s decision about MFIP?\n## Appeal deadlines and how to file","[{\"question\":\"What living situations are allowed for MFIP eligibility if I am under 18?\",\"answer\":\"You generally must live with one or both parents, a legal guardian, an approved adult relative, or an adult-supervised living arrangement.
