No members of the public appeared for the second hearing on RISE Act payments this week, but lawmakers took to the floor to speak about the program being the responsibility of the governor.
The RISE Act lapsed into law in December of 2021 and would provide payouts of $800 to eligible applicants making up to $40,000 annually, and $1,600 to joint tax filers. The law has not been implemented by the administration and is set to expire this December. But Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero instituted in March the All RISE Program which mirrored the provisions of the RISE Act, while expanding eligibility to government employees and retirees who were not included in the original law.
