Overview
This bill expands the California Guaranteed Income Pilot Program by prioritizing funding for pilot programs that serve parents of young children (ages 0-5) and victims of domestic violence, in addition to the existing focus on aging foster youth and pregnant individuals. It also removes a requirement for equitable funding distribution based on anticipated participant numbers and introduces preferences for entities that haven’t yet received grants. The bill includes provisions to ensure that guaranteed income payments are not considered income or resources for benefit programs and to facilitate federal exemptions or waivers.
