Five days left for Iowans who need some extra cash can now apply for a guaranteed income program that will provide them with $500 monthly payments. The program, UpLift, will select 110 applicants and provide them with payments over two years.
The UpLift program will select 110 applicants to provide these monthly payments over the course of two years. Researchers will track how participants use these payments each month. Recipients have total freedom with how they spend the money, according to research firm the Harkin Institute, which is helping with the program.“Poverty is a chronic obstacle,” said Ashley Ezzio, lead programmer of UpLift.
To be eligible for this program, applicants are required to live in Dallas, Polk, or Warren counties, have at least one dependent no older than 25, and have a household income of 60% of the area median income or lower. The required area median income varies depending on how many dependents an applicant has. An applicant with two dependents cannot make more than $3,940 per month, and an applicant with three dependents cannot make more than $4,433.
A random control study will compare outcomes from these recipients to 140 people who receive no monthly payments.“What other projects have shown is that even the smallest boost in regular income can make a vast difference for a family,” said Michael Berger, another programmer of the project. “Participants aren’t looking for handouts. They just need paths to greater financial stability and, hopefully, prosperity.
