The state of Los Angeles has taken the initiative to provide qualifying residents with a direct stimulus check in the upcoming days. This stimulus check is being dispensed by a welfare program known as Breathe. Like other US states, Los Angeles too is providing financial stimulus to its residents to tackle the ongoing inflation in the US, which has shot up the prices of daily commodities and housing.
The Breathe stimulus check payments will be sent out to eligible residents, who qualified the eligibility criteria. 1,000 candidates have been chosen by Breathe, to whom, stimulus payments worth $ 1,000 will be sent out directly by the 15th of every month and continue for a course of 3 years. The Breathe program aims at providing financial aid to residents who were formerly under foster care. The chosen 1,000 candidates of this program were formerly in the care of the Department of Children and Family Services of Los Angeles County, and are now young adults of ages ranging from 21 to 23 years.
Eligibility Criteria For The Breathe Stimulus Check
To be considered eligible for the Breathe stimulus check, applicants must meet the necessary criteria. The claimant must have been under foster care under the Department of Children and Families of Los Angeles County and had become an adult in or after the care.
The claimant of this stimulus check requires to be from a household, whose total filial income is below 100% of the local average, and if the claimant is from a household of two or more members, then the total income requires to be below 120%.
