Minnesota Basic Income Program: Eligible Residents Could Receive $500 Monthly
Minnesota Democrats Propose $500 Monthly Aid for Residents in Basic Income Program
Residents of Minnesota could soon receive help through a proposed basic income program. Democrats are thinking about giving eligible people up to $500 monthly, according to the published article of THE U.S. SUN. This $500 monthly would come from a one-time $100 million payment from the General Fund starting in 2025. It aims to help Americans financially for 18 to 24 months.
To get these $500 monthly, residents must meet two conditions. First they must live in Minnesota. Second they must either get public benefits already or have an income below 300% of the federal poverty line. This means the program targets those who really need help with $500 monthly. The $500 monthly won’t count as regular income. Instead they’ll be called a stipend. This way Americans can still get other help from the state without any problems. By doing this, Minnesota Democrats hope to give much-needed support to Americans facing financial difficulties.
