The city is aiming to reach Chicago households who were shut out of the federal stimulus checks that were distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 20. Participants of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and immigrants who recently arrived within the past couple of months to seek asylum aren’t eligible for the funds, according to city officials. A family of three must have an income of no more than $74,580.
For a single person, that means having an income of up to $43,740.
To be eligible, residents must be 18 years or older, live in Chicago and have a total household income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level.
