$1,000 checks on July 15 in California: Who will receive them?
Another $1,000 payment is due to be sent 15 July for those participating in the Breathe Program, one of several guaranteed income programs in California.
Dozens of cities around the nation have implemented guaranteed income programs. The idea behind them is that they will help decrease poverty by giving beneficiaries a set amount of money each month regardless of whether they are working or not.
California is home to a number of these programs. Last year, Los Angeles County launched the Breathe Program, a monthly financial aid for low-income people, which provides chosen qualifying participants with $1,000 per month.
The program first opened applications on March 31, 2022 and closed on April 13 of the same year. Subsequently, the payments began to be sent in June of last year. Since then, every month, Breathe Program beneficiaries receive a monthly payment of $1,000 dollars and will continue to receive it until August 2025. As well, a second enrollment recently took place.
Regarding this month’s payment, these beneficiaries could see their payments reflected as of July 15. These beneficiaries were randomly selected last year after applying for the program. These payments are deposited each month on to debit cards.
