Application For Basic Income Open Until Jan 1, 2024
Prince George’s County has released the application for the basic income program.
The program will provide monthly payments of $800 to 50 people ages 18-24 who have aged out of foster care, and 125 seniors (age 60+) for a 24-month period to support their basic needs, decrease debt, and increase financial stability.
“I’ve championed the guaranteed basic income program for years because I know it provides an opportunity to tackle poverty and create better quality of life for our residents,” said Council Member Krystal Oriadha. “My hope is with more jurisdictions moving to implement programs like this, we will see an investment at the state and federal level that will allow these pilots to become permanent.”
Applications are open until January 1. There are two different applications for youth aging out of foster care and elderly people. For youth aging out of foster care: t.ly/k3RmC. For elderly people: t.ly/BEO5p.
