The lifetime limit of receipt of cash public assistance benefits is a direct threat to the 19-year-old mother who is a recipient of public assistance. This policy limits the amount of time she can receive cash benefits, potentially leaving her and her child without necessary financial support. The other options may be concerning or have negative impacts, but they do not directly threaten her current situation.
