The city is reopening its Stimulus Check program.
According to a press statement from the city, applications are now being accepted for the California Resiliency Fund 2.0, which provides residents who did not get a COVID-19 stimulus with a cash boost.
The city estimates that another 17,000 residents of California will benefit from the program by receiving a $500 payout. Domestic helpers who have been employed for a year or longer providing services such as cleaning, cooking, caring for children, and medical assistance to their families are now qualified to apply. The city will compensate its 7,000 cleaners.
Claim Your Stimulus Check
Those who live in the area but were not eligible to receive stimulus checks due to a lack of proper documentation are strongly urged to apply, according to government representatives. Ten thousand illegal immigrants will be given cash prizes by the city. Direct payments to 4,000 adult carers are still possible thanks to an earlier installment of the Resiliency Fund 2.0. This covers families that filed tax returns for 2019 claiming a handicapped family member or a college student living at home as a dependant.
California’s Resiliency Fund 2.0 is funded by the city’s $1.9 billion portion of federal pandemic aid, as outlined in the California Recovery Plan. Residents of California who are 18 or older and whose family income is at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty line are encouraged to apply.
A complete stimulus check application includes a name, phone number, address, and photo ID from the applicant. Individuals who are randomly selected will need to provide extra documentation to prove their eligibility. Your citizenship or immigration status will not be an issue in any way.
YWCA Metropolitan California, Association House California, Chinese Mutual Aid Association, and Heartland Human Care Services are among the local NGOs that will assist the city in managing applications and coordinating public awareness campaigns for the fund. The city’s spokeswoman, Alejandra Flores Rebollar, said that applications are checked daily and that payments will be issued in groups once a month until the money runs out.
