Last Update: May 10, 2026
Latest change: The regulation now separates the prenatal benefit into distinct parts and adds a new income-assistance stream, while keeping the main benefit rules in place.
Prenatal benefit eligibility expanded
The regulation has been reorganized into separate parts, including a new Part 2 for applicants who receive income assistance and a new Part 1 rule stating that Part 1 applies only to people who are not receiving income assistance. This changes the program’s scope and eligibility structure by creating a distinct pathway for income-assistance recipients, while the core application, residency, pregnancy, and financial-eligibility rules remain largely the same.
