There are two days before Los Angeles County opens applications for an expansion of a guaranteed income program it is doing. The program issues monthly payments of $1,000 to recipients.
The program, called Breathe, will select 200 applicants who are former foster children to receive these payments over two years. The applications will open on the morning of June 20 and close on July 3 at 11:59 p.m.Last year, the same program selected 1,000 people to receive $1,000 every month for three years, and now, the program is adding 200 people who will receive the same amount every month for two years, a spokesperson for Los Angeles County told the Washington Examiner.
Other requirements applicants need to meet include having a household income at or below 100% of the area median income for a single-person household or 120% of the area median income for a household of two or more persons. They also have to have been negatively affected by the coronavirus pandemic and may not be currently enrolled in another guaranteed income program.
An additional 2,000 applicants were randomly chosen to participate in the study as part of the control group. The control group does not receive the $1,000 payments every month but will be asked to complete the periodic surveys and interviews and will be compensated with a $30 gift card for every survey they take.
