H.126 is a proposed bill that mandates the Department for Children and Families to provide monthly universal basic income payments to youth who have recently aged out of the foster care system. The intent of this legislation is to support these young individuals as they transition into independence, ensuring they have a stable financial foundation during a critical period of their lives.
The bill emphasizes the importance of financial assistance for youth exiting foster care, aiming to alleviate potential hardships they may face without the support of a traditional family structure. By implementing these monthly payments, the legislation seeks to promote stability and self-sufficiency among this vulnerable population.
