Cities and states across the US are providing direct payments. Universal basic income (UBI) payments come from the government and are typically paid out monthly.
Social Security recipients could see an 8-10% increase in their monthly payments next year. This increase will be from the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).
Direct payments worth $1,000 have been introduced for care providers in New Jersey. Applications are already open and payments will be issued on a first-come-first-served basis.
