Sacramento County is extending the Family First Economic Support Pilot Program (FFESP) in an effort to combat economic insecurity and strengthen vulnerable families.
This innovative initiative aims to provide guaranteed income to parents and legal guardians of young children, providing direct financial assistance that could transform the stability of hundreds of households in the region.
The program, which focuses on families with children aged 0 to 5 who live in specific zip codes and earn less than 200% of the federal poverty line, selects 200 participants at random to receive a significant sum of money for 12 months.
This capital injection is accompanied by essential support services such as financial counseling and access to community resources, with the goal of not only alleviating economic pressure but also fostering greater family resilience in society.
What are the requirements to receive the $725 stimulus payment?
Applicants must reside in one of the following zip codes: 95815, 95821, 95823, 95825, 95828, or 95838.
Applicants must be the parents or legal guardians of a child aged 0 to 5 years.
Household income: Applicants must have an annual household income less than 200% of the federal poverty level.
The 200% FPL income limit varies by household size (number of adults and children), for example:
2 people (e.g. 1 adult and 1 child): $40,880
3 people (e.g. 1 adult and 2 children, or 2 adults and 1 child): $51,640
4 people: $62,400
5 people: $73,160
6 people: $83,920
7 people: $94,680
8 people: $105,440
For households with more than 8 people, add $10,760 for each additional person.
Not already receiving a guaranteed income through another pilot program: Applicants must not be currently enrolled in any other government or privately funded guaranteed income programs.
