Application Deadline for Chicago's $500 Cash Assistance Program Looms

It’s the final call for Chicago residents looking to take part in the city’s new cash assistance program as the deadline to apply is closing in. The city is offering one-time payments of $500 through the Chicago Resiliency Fund 2.0, a program that’s “aimed at providing cash assistance to Chicagoans who may have been left out of COVID-19 stimulus.” Eligible residents have until Dec. 31 to submit their applications, according to the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services. “The fund is intended to support residents who had difficult accessing and qualifying for federal relief payments in 2020, including COVID-19 Relief Funds,” the city’s website reads. The current round of payments are geared toward residents with adult dependents or those who are caregivers for adults. Two organizations have been charged with taking applications: The Association House Chicago and the Chinese Mutual Aid Foundation. Eligible residents will need to submit an online application and recipients will be selected via a lottery. The winners will need to show proof of eligibility. Only one application per household is allowed. Over 4,000 winners are expected to be selected, according to the city. So, are you eligible for the current round of assistance? Here are the requirements: You reside in the City of Chicago ANDYou are 18 years of age or older ANDYour household income level falls at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)You filed taxes in 2019 AND claimed a dependent 17 years or older To determine whether your income meets the threshold for the program, here’s a look at how much you can make based on the number of people in your household: $40,770$54,930$69,090$83,250$97,410$111,570$125,730$139,890 For those with more than eight people in their home, add $4,720 for each person in the household, the city says. Earlier this year, Chicago launched a monthly assistance program for low-income families, but that program is different from the current one-time payment option. The series of anti-poverty initiatives were announced by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office in February. The mayor is seeking re-election next year.
