As a recipient of public assistance, the cap on consecutive and lifetime receipt of cash benefits directly affects the financial stability of the 19-year-old mother and her child. This cap can limit the amount of assistance they receive, potentially leading to a loss of essential resources such as food, housing, and medical care. While the other options may have an impact, they are not as immediate and threatening as the cap on public assistance benefits.
