GUARANTEED INCOME PILOT
Sample: The "sample" will be 1,000 low-income Chicagoans.
Amount: Participants will receive $1,000 per month.
Use of Funds: Use of the funds would be unconditional. Recipients can decide how the income can best meet their unique needs and goals.
Duration: Participants will receive the disbursements for 1.5 years.
Benefits: We want to ensure that the pilot does not make people who are most vulnerable worse off by preserving eligibility for existing benefits such as SNAP, child care assistance, and Medicaid.
