Revise Various Laws/Work 1st Cash Assistance.

SB 608 expands North Carolina's Work First Cash Assistance program to include pregnant women as eligible family members, increasing access for low-income households. It raises cash benefit amounts to 50% of the federal poverty level (up from 40%), increases income eligibility to 75% of federal poverty guidelines, and raises resource limits to $5,000 (with vehicle exemptions). The bill removes state-imposed time limits on assistance, keeping only federal requirements (e.g., 24-month limits for most cases), and updates definitions to clarify eligibility. These changes directly affect low-income families, particularly pregnant individuals and those with modest assets, by expanding support and reducing barriers to aid.
