THERE'S only one day left for Americans to claim a one-time $4,000 direct payment.
A nonprofit in California called Jewish Family Service has partnered with the city of San Diego to launch the Recovery Action Fund for Tomorrow.
San Diego residents can expect a $4,000 direct payment
Applications went live on May 8, but they are coming to a close on May 21.
The application window shuts down at 11.59pm, so time is running out for those who are eligible to apply.
The nonprofit outlined the payments to go toward needy residents who will be able to spend the cash with no strings attached.
The goal is to help 2,250 families and seniors who were negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
“Our communities have still not recovered from the financial repercussions,” supervisor Nora Vargas told the Times of San Diego.
The pilot program is partly funded by $10 million from the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has made issues of inequality more stark,” Nick Macchione, director of the county’s Health and Human Services Agency, told the local publication.
“This one-time cash payment can be life changing for those recovering from the pandemic,” he continued. “This can help families, seniors and our most vulnerable neighbors secure permanent housing, invest in reliable transportation, or get over an economic hurdle.”
To qualify for the Recovery Action Fund for Tomorrow money, you will have to meet a set of specific criteria.
For one, you must show proof of San Diego residency.
The program also intends to support parents as well as those most financially vulnerable
Due to this, you’ll only be eligible for the money if you have at least one child under the age of 18.
On the other hand, if you are a senior at least 55 years old or caring for a disabled adult, you could also be eligible.
Certain income limits apply for recipients of the program as well.
Household income must be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
For a household of one, that is just $29,160, while families of four can bring in $60,000 or less.
Jewish Family Service will choose who gets the money via a lottery system.
If selected, recipients will get the payment in two rounds, the first part coming in June and the second in August.
All payments will be issued in the form of a prepaid debit card via mail with pickup available at specific locations.
Applications are still being processed online, but residents can also get in-person application help at the San Diego Central Library or the Price Family YMCA.
OTHER PAYMENTS
Another payment program Californians can take advantage of is the Pathway to Income Equality program.
The guaranteed income program gives out $500 in cash to 305 families living in Sonoma County.
Several other deadlines are also approaching this month if Americans want to get their hands on some extra cash.
That includes a guaranteed income program run by a music and arts organization called The Local Sound Collaborative based in Rochester, New York.
Six residents within the local music community will be chosen to receive $200 in monthly payments for a full year.
Applications are live online until June 3 at 11.59pm.
Meanwhile, Colorado offers cash through its Property Tax, Rent, Heat Credit (PTC) Rebate program.
It is worth up to $1,044 for those with a total income of less than $16,925 for single filers and $22,858 for married couples.
You also must fit one of the following eligibility criteria:
Age 65 or older
Surviving spouse, age 58 or older - keep in mind, if you were divorced before your spouse died, you do not fit this category
Disabled person of any age who was unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity for medical reasons
Paid property tax, rent, or heating bills during the PTC period
Not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s federal income tax return
If you want to get the rebate in July, your application must have been processed before June 10.
“Applications went live on May 8, but they are coming to a close on May 21.”
I think it’s passed the “Use By Date”...
Why post this 3 days after it expired? Bad enough that it was limited to San Diego residents only. 😋
yeah, the feds are gonna wanna taste of that like 1/3 of it. If you got this you better sock some away cause it counts as income enough prolly put you in a bracket.
I identify as all criteria that make me eligible.
Gimme Gimme!
Well, this should help ease inflation!
. . . and enrich the neighborhood drug dealers.
