Los Angeles County will open applications for monthly payments tomorrow as an expansion of its guaranteed income program.
The program, called Breathe, will select 200 applicants who are former foster children to receive the payments over two years. The applications will open on Tuesday morning and close on July 3 at 11:59 p.m. The program issues monthly payments of $1,000 to recipients.Last year, the same program selected 1,000 people to receive $1,000 every month for three years.
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.
