WASHINGTON - A bill proposed by a progressive Democrat in Congress would send monthly payments or guaranteed income of up to $1,200 for adults and $600 for children following pilot programs across the U.S.
The proposal, introduced on Friday by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is designed to build a 21st-century economy that is reflective of Americans’ everyday needs.
Known as the Sending Unconditional Payments to People Overcoming Resistances to Triumph (SUPPORT) Act, it would create a guaranteed income program of up to $1,200 per month for adults and $600 for kids following years-long pilot programs in localities nationwide.
