The city of Sacramento, California, is offering one of the stimulus payments that is still waiting. These installments, which total $725 per month, will be made for the entire year.
This payment is a component of a pilot program that was authorized at the time to help those in need who are having financial difficulties. Consequently, it is among the checks that will continue to be in effect until 2025.
What is this stimulus check and how does it work?
The first thing to realize is that this help is not available to everyone. One of the requirements for receiving stimulus cheques is that an individual’s income must be below 200% of the federal poverty threshold.
Moreover, this is not a scheme for universal aid. It will first be given to 200 Sacramento County families who fit these criteria as a pilot program.
The initial payment was made on December 15 and will be made on the 15th of each month until the last payment is made on November 15, 2025.
As mentioned earlier, the $725 payment has a special feature that many other aid programs do not: it has no spending caps. This means that, unlike with programs like SNAP, the recipient can spend the funds for more than just food.
What is this program called?
The SacramentoFirst Family Economic Support Pilot Program is the full name of this initiative. The California Department of Social Services awarded a grant to the Sacramento County Department of Child, Family, and Adult Services, which will administer the program in collaboration with a nearby nonprofit.
One important consideration is that if the family moves outside of Sacramento County, California, or if the requirements for its approval are no longer fulfilled, this payment can be suspended. And lastly, a basic rule: only families with dependents living in 95815, 95821, 95823, 95825, 95828, and 95838 ZIP codes will be selected.
