Stimulus Check 2023: What You Should Know If You Reside In One of Midwest States

The Harris County Commissioners Court has approved a universal basic income (UBI) pilot program called Uplift. The program will provide $500 monthly payments to 1,500 residents who make less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level. This means a family of four making $60,000 or less would qualify.

The program will be funded by $20.5 million from the county’s COVID-19 federal relief funds. Payments are scheduled to begin in early September.

To apply for the program, residents can visit the Uplift website. The application period will open on August 22nd and close on September 5th.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Here are some additional details about the Harris County UBI program:

  • The program will be open to residents of Harris County who are at least 18 years old and have a valid Social Security number.
  • Applicants must meet the income requirement of making less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
  • Applicants will be randomly selected for the program.
  • Recipients will receive $500 monthly payments for 18 months.
  • The program is expected to cost $20.5 million.

The Harris County UBI program is one of several UBI pilot programs that have been launched in the United States in recent years. These programs are designed to test the effects of providing a regular income to low-income residents. The results of these programs could help inform future decisions about whether or not to implement a universal basic income nationwide.
