  + stars: | 2024-09-26 | by ( Allie Kelly | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +13 min
BI broke down the pros, cons, and frequently asked questions about basic income. Universal basic income and guaranteed basic income could fill gaps in the existing US social safety net, experts said. A benefit of basic income is the element of choice, according to Shafeka Hashash, associate director of guaranteed income at the Economic Security Project. Private donors often fully or partially fund basic income programs, lessening the cost burden on local governments. US states with active basic income programs include California, Illinois, Colorado, New York, Georgia, Louisiana, and more.

They were not required to meet any household income requirements, which are typical criteria for basic income programs. The US has launched over 100 guaranteed basic income pilots — and RxKids joins a growing number focused on families.

Shamarra Woods, 31, said Atlanta's guaranteed basic income pilot helped her afford daycare for her daughter.

And since last fall, she's been a participant in a Washington DC-area guaranteed basic income program. With her husband's SSDI disability benefit, the couple lives on a fixed income of under $2,000 each month, which is separate from their guaranteed basic income. Basic income has alleviated some of her financial anxiety, but she said "it's still not enough" to feel stable. The basic income program Kelly participates in is one of over 100 pilots across the US. Have you benefitted from a guaranteed basic income program?

☆ Over 100 basic-income pilots have run in US cities. Now states are getting creative to fund no-strings-attached cash payments.

Basic income has become a trending strategy to combat poverty in cities nationwide. ARPA funds have been used to partially or fully fund most US basic-income pilots so far, but funds are set to expire. While philanthropy and nonprofit work have been central to basic-income pilots, they are not always a long-term or large-scale funding solution. More GBI programs are electing to focus on specific groups of participants, like low-income parents with children and foster youth. The program is funded through the Temporary Aid to Needy Families Program (TANF), an existing federal cash assistance program for low-income families.
