There are hundreds of young Americans that can qualify for a UBI payment program soon that pays $350 per month for 10 months.
125 adults between the ages of 16 and 24 can expect to see payments in New Orleans.
Those who wish to apply need to show that they are disconnected from work and school, which is a requirement.
The program was originally announced last year with a grant worth $500,000.

The grant comes from Mayors for a Guaranteed Income.
The goal is to help those who need it most, especially after the number of disconnected youth increased from COVID-19.
Youth are being directly invested in by being a part of this program.
