Read previewA guaranteed basic income program in Arlington, Virginia that gave low-income residents $500 a month with no strings attached allowed them to find their footing, seek out education, and improve their job security, a final report found. Recipients said reducing their weekend and overtime hours helped them pursue education and certifications that could lead to higher-paying jobs. Arlington is not the first city to experiment with a guaranteed basic income program. Some lawmakers in Texas, however, oppose basic income programs. One state senator asked the state attorney general to declare a similar program in the Houston area unconstitutional.
