Bill H.126 proposes that the Department for Children and Families in Vermont be mandated to distribute monthly universal basic income payments to youth who have recently aged out of the foster care system. This initiative aims to provide financial support to these young individuals as they transition into independence, addressing potential economic challenges they may face after leaving foster care.

The bill emphasizes the importance of supporting youth in foster care by ensuring they receive consistent financial assistance, thereby promoting their stability and well-being. By implementing this program, the state seeks to enhance the quality of life for these vulnerable individuals and facilitate their successful integration into society.
