California families who are recipients of a guaranteed income program only have to wait 26 more days to receive their next payment from the program. The Pathway to Income Equity pilot program selected 305 out of 6,450 applicants.
The Pathway to Income Equity pilot program selected 305 out of 6,450 applicants in Sonoma County to receive $500 every month. To be eligible, applicants had to have at least one child under age 6, be affected in some way by the coronavirus pandemic, and have a household income of no more than 185% above the federal poverty level, according to the Sonoma County Administrator's Office.
Sonoma County officials will study what effect this additional monthly income has on reducing poverty and promoting economic mobility for families with young children, according to the administrator's office. "We are working with an external evaluator to conduct qualitative research with the participants over the two years," Angie Dillon-Shore, the director of the nonprofit group First 5 Sonoma County, told the Washington Examiner."The preliminary findings of the first year will be available in spring 2024 and then a final evaluation report after the pilot concludes in early 2025."Officials said the payments are delivered on the third Wednesday of each month.
The program accepted applications for the payments last year, of which officials said that 2,383 met the eligibility requirements. The application period was from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31.
