## Summary

**Would create a nationwide universal adult cash assistance program and pair it with a new supplemental individual income tax to fund it.** - Qualifying adults ages 19 through 67 would be eligible for a monthly payment of $250, with annual inflation adjustments starting after 2026. Payments would not count as income for federal tax purposes or for determining eligibility for federally funded benefit programs. - A new supplemental individual income tax would apply at 2.5 percent to adjusted gross income above an exemption of $60,000 for joint filers and $30,000 for other filers, with inflation adjustments after 2026. The tax disallows other credits, deductions, or carryforwards to reduce the new tax and can be implemented with withholding or estimated payments. - The Social Security Administration would operate the program through a new Office of Universal Adult Assistance, handle applications and fraud prevention, conduct outreach, and report annually to Congress. The SSA must provide data needed to run the program and issue regulations to implement it.
