Michigan’s Rx Kids program gives cash to pregnant and new moms, cutting preterm births and healthcare costs.
The Rx Kids program in Michigan provides cash assistance to pregnant and new mothers, delivering $1,500 during pregnancy and $500 monthly for a year with no restrictions.
Since launching in 2024, it has reached over 3,400 families across 11 communities, distributing $14.5 million.
Research shows the program reduces preterm births by 18%, low birth weight by 27%, and NICU admissions by 29%, while also lowering evictions and debt.
It has led to $6.2 million in healthcare savings and improved prenatal care access and mental health.
Co-founder Luke Shaefer calls it a model for nationwide expansion.
