Up To $500 Guaranteed Income Program
In less than a month, recipients of a guaranteed income program in El Monte, California will start to receive monthly payments of up to $500, Washington Examiner reported.
This is a yearlong program that aims to help mothers in El Monte pay for their goods and services at any location where credit cards work because the monthly payment will be issued in a debit card. If there are mothers who don’t know how to use debit cards, the city will be providing training on how to use debit cards.
El Monte, California is home to more than 100,000 people. Recipients of the guaranteed income program are selected through a randomized lottery last April and a total of 25 recipients were chosen to be eligible for the program. The city will load $500 every month on each recipient’s debit card.
Payments for the program are anticipated to be sent on June 1.
