Recipients of a guaranteed income program in Los Angeles County only need to wait a little less than two weeks before their next payment of $1,000 will be issued.

The program, titled Breathe, selected 1,000 people last year to receive $1,000 every month for three years and issues the payments to recipients every 15th of a month. Payments began in June 2022, and the final payment will be issued in August 2025, a spokesperson for Los Angeles County told the Washington Examiner.

The program was launched by the county with the intention of giving its recipients the chance to “breathe” easier knowing they are more financially secure.

The University of Pennsylvania and other local and national research partners are conducting a randomized control study to measure the outcomes of this project. While participants are not required to participate in the research study to receive the $1,000 monthly payments, those who do will be asked to provide information periodically on different aspects of their overall health and well-being and will receive a $30 gift card for every survey they complete.

Likewise, 2,000 applicants were randomly chosen to participate in the research study as part of the “control group.” This group does not receive $1,000 payments every month but will be asked to complete the periodic surveys and interviews. They will also be rewarded with a $30 gift card for every survey they complete.

In a couple of weeks, the program will open applications to former foster children to receive $1,000 payments every month over the course of two years. The window for this application will open on June 20 at 6 a.m. and will close on July 3 at 11:59 p.m.
