Back in April, a plan called Chicago Moves was approved, which send gas stimulus payments to qualifying residents.
The program was proposed by Chicago mayor, Lori Lightfoot, and approved by the Chicago City Council.
The plan sends thousands of $150 gas stimulus cards to residents using a lottery system.
In all, the plan costs $12.5 million dollars and passed by a slim margin.

You can apply for the lottery online at Chicago.gov/ChicagoMoves, by visiting any Chicago Public Library, or by mail.

The deadlines are on the 3rd of each month there’s a drawing.
Only one application can be submitted.
