A 3277 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Guaranteed Income Pilot Program" in DOLWD for residents of certain cities.

This bill establishes a two-year guaranteed income pilot program in seven New Jersey cities (Paterson, Passaic City, Jersey City, Plainfield, Newark, Trenton, and Camden). It provides eligible residents with $500 monthly for 18 months - selected randomly from households earning under $80,000 annually - with no other requirements. The Department of Treasury will study economic impacts and collect participant surveys, submitting findings to lawmakers within 10 months after the program ends. The program aims to examine how unconditional cash payments affect spending habits and local economic conditions.
