Applications for a new guaranteed income program in Massachusetts opened on Thursday, with selected participants receiving monthly payments of $500 from this program.
The applications for the program, Rise Up Cambridge, will remain open for about two months and will close on July 31. Applications will be approved on a rolling basis.The payments are intended to help households with at least one child, and they are being funded by a $22 million commitment from Cambridge, Massachusetts. Recipients selected for the program will be given monthly installments of $500 for 18 months for a total of $9,000 each.
The money recipients get from the monthly installments will not need to be reported as taxable income. In addition to receiving the monthly payments, recipients can make money by participating in surveys or by documenting their experiences in the program. These surveys or documents will be optional, but those who partake in them will be compensated for the time spent on the side projects.
To qualify for the program, an applicant must be a resident of Cambridge, be at least 18 years old, and have at least one person in their household under 21. The household's income must also be at or below 250% of the federal poverty level.The income requirement for a household's eligibility depends on how many people live in the household.
