California families who are recipients of a guaranteed income program only have to wait 27 more days to receive their next payment from the program. The pilot program selected 305 out of 6,450 applicants in Sonoma County to receive $500 every month.
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.
Officials said the payments are delivered on the third Wednesday of each month. The final payment for this program will be issued in December 2024. 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."This extra income will allow them to spend more time with their families, find a better job, or improve their financial well-being, resulting in better outcomes for their kids," said Angie Dillon-Shore, the director of the nonprofit group First 5 Sonoma County.
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.
