Which Monthly Payment Program Is Right for Your Family in 2026?

Not all guaranteed income programs are the same. Each one was designed for a specific group — and choosing the right one means understanding which program your family actually qualifies for.

For example, Maryland’s HB 628 program focuses on young adults who aged out of foster care, offering $1,000/month. California’s pilot provides $600–$1,200/month specifically for pregnant individuals and former foster youth. Washington State’s SB 6212 targets families with school-aged children qualifying for free meals.

All of these programs share one important feature: accepting the payments does not affect your SNAP, Medicaid, or SSI benefits.
