Andrew Yang Plans To Test Universal Basic Income With Project In New York

Andrew Yang ran with the platform of universal basic income and now has a plan to put it to the test.

According to Business Insider.

UBI is the government guarantee that each person receives a minimum amount of money.

Yang’s nonprofit, Human Forward, partnered with a local community center in New York to give 20 residents $500 a month for five years.

The U.S. recently had to test UBI by giving each qualifying person $1,200 during the coronavirus pandemic.

With The Emergency Money for the People Act, Congress is looking to continue the practice by giving Americans $2,000 for 12 months.
