## Summary

**Creates a three‑year pilot to provide a guaranteed monthly income** to 20,000 adults, with half of participants receiving payments sized to local two‑bedroom fair market rent. HHS will run and study the program with the IRS and a selected external research partner to test effects on income volatility, health, and economic outcomes. - Up to 20,000 adults aged 18–65 can participate. 10,000 participants will receive a monthly cash payment equal to the fair market rent for a two‑bedroom home in their ZIP code or a similar amount. - Payments are disregarded for 12 months for all Federal and federally assisted programs and are not counted as income or resources for any Federal or State or local program funded in whole or in part with Federal funds. - HHS, in consultation with the IRS and an external nonpartisan research partner, will administer the pilot and collect tax and study data. The bill requires an interim report 24 months after participation begins and a final report within 12 months after the pilot ends, including quantitative and qualitative analyses. *Authorizes up to $495 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2030 to carry out the pilot.*

## Provisions PRIA read

- Monthly cash equal to local rent: benefit, high. If enacted, this would run a three-year pilot. The Secretary would pick 20,000 eligible adults ages 18–65. Ten thousand of them would get a monthly cash payment. The payment would equal the fair market rent for a 2-bedroom home in your ZIP Code (or a similar amount). Payments would arrive on the 15…
