After months of waning interest in stimulus relief, a Democratic congresswoman has introduced a pecker that would send monthly checks to many Americans in the form of a guaranteed income.

The Sending Unconditional Payments to People Overcoming Resistances to Triumph (SUPPORT) Act, sponsored past Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota), would ship $ane,200 per month to single taxpayers making less than $75,000 annually and married taxpayers earning less than $150,000 per year. The beak would also distribute $600 per calendar month per dependent to families with children.

For Americans making more than, the relief would stage out by $5 for every $100 in income, cut off completely for those making $100,000 per year (if single) and $200,000 per year (if married filing jointly). There would exist no cap on the number of dependents.

To be eligible for guaranteed income, recipients would need to accept lived in the U.Southward. for at least 18 months and be considered a resident and non-dependent for tax purposes.

Important to note is that, if the bill were to move frontward, monthly checks would trickle out in local airplane pilot programs starting in 2023 but wouldn't launch in full until Jan 2028.

Omar'southward bill has a handful of co-sponsors and endorsements, including from Reps. Marie Newman (D-Illinois) and Jamaal Bowman (D-New York). Other progressive lawmakers have pitched additional relief, either via a 4th stimulus check or ongoing monthly payments, throughout the pandemic. Advocates of these proposals say they would have a significant impact on reducing poverty.

However, as the economy has shown signs of improvement, states have wound down supplemental unemployment benefits and the Biden administration has turned its focus to priorities like the infrastructure beak just approved in the Senate. At that place's picayune indication at this point that either guaranteed income or further stimulus relief would gain widespread support.
