Hey, guys, it's Ginny Silver with a California update for
you on Wednesday, October 27, approximately 3000 participants
in Los Angeles will be selected to receive a guaranteed income
in the amount of $1,000 for a twelve month period as LA enters
into a new pilot program testing out guaranteed income.
LA is the third city in the state of California to pilot
an experimental guaranteed income program.
But Los Angeles program, entitled The Big Leap, is the largest
in the country.
Los Angeles has joined two other California cities in piloting
a guaranteed income program.
The La program is the largest of the country and follows
Stockton, the first experiment with a guaranteed income program
in Oakland, whose pilot program began in June in several
targeted city tracks.
The state of California also has a pilot program which provides
grants primarily to adults who age out of the foster system.
Los Angeles program is called the Big Leap, and in order
to be eligible, you must be a resident of the city of La.
Be 18 years or older, have at least one dependent, or be
pregnant, be below the federal poverty level, and have experienced
medical or financial hardship caused by the Covit 19 Pandemic.
If you meet those qualifications, then you may fill out a
survey online located in the link in the video description,
3000 participants will be chosen at random from those individuals
who qualify and complete the survey.
If selected, you will receive a no strings attached $1,000
cash deposit for twelve months.
Participants can use the money, however they see fit to meet
their needs.
The frequently asked question States that all participants
selected will receive benefits counseling to avoid disruption
in any of their other public benefits that they're currently
receiving. Approximately 3000 recipients will be randomly
selected if you live in the city of Los Angeles and you want
to apply for this.
Applications open on Friday and continue for a ten day period.
The link in the video description below will take you to
the survey that you must complete in order to be considered
next yesterday on Tuesday, the FDA advisory panel voted in
support of Pfizer's vaccine for ages five to eleven.
The panel's green light means that the FDA authorization
is one step closer and children could potentially receive
their first doses beginning in November and be fully vaccinated
by the December holidays heading FDA approval.
The decision then moves to the CDC panel, which looks at
the same data before approval.
The California school vaccine mandate for ages seven through
twelve is expected to take effect in July of 2022.
The effective date for this younger age group will depend
on the timeline for full approval by the CDC.
Next new California legislation aimed at providing more transparency
and behested political donations.
Unprecedented giving by large corporations during the 2020
Pandemic year raised concerns over the potential for corporate
influence in Sacramento.
Be hesitant.
Donations occur when a company donates money to support a
cause on behalf of an elected official.
During the 2020 pandemic year, several large corporations
donated millions to Governor Nixon's behalf.
The funds supported programs addressing homelessness and
public safety, but there are concerns that the identity of
the donors is often less transparent that under the changes
approved Thursday, an elected official must report when known
the name of the person directing a behested payment through
a donor advised fund.
When the contribution is made anonymously, the elected official
must note that in disclosure filings on this Friday, October
29, approximately 400,000 direct deposits for Golden State
stimulus will be put out by the California Franchise Tax
Board. The Franchise Tax Board stated that they anticipated
that they would complete the direct deposit payments by October
31. However, a statement by a representative from the Franchise
Tax Board says that while they are doing a large batch of
direct deposits on this Friday, the 29th, direct deposits
may still continue because many individuals have more complicated
tax returns or filed their tax return by the October 15 deadline
to receive the stimulus, which will then push them into a
later time period for receiving that direct deposit.
While many of you may receive your direct deposit this Friday,
the 29th, if you are anticipating a direct deposit but do
not receive it this Friday, the California Franchise Tax
Board will continue to pay these out as the months go on.
For those of you that are anticipating a payment by check
for the Golden State stimulus, another 750,000 checks are
anticipated to be mailed out on Monday, November 1.
Filling a paper checks is broken down in accordance to your
zip code.
You can view this chart on the California Franchise Tax Board's
website in order to see when to expect your payment.
And for those of you that are going to ask me in the comments
once again, if you will be receiving a second Golden State
stimulus, the answer is no.
If you received Golden State Stimulus one and you already
received a $600 payment, you will not be entitled to receive
a second $600 payment.
However, if you did receive the first round, but you claimed
dependents, including adult dependence on your 2020 income
tax return, then you should be receiving a $500 dependent
stimulus as long as you meet all of the other qualifications
to receive the Golden State Stimulus.
Okay, you guys, I hope that was helpful.
