Cook County Promise Guaranteed Income Pilot - Oak Park Library

The Cook County Promise Guaranteed Income Pilot will provide no-strings-attached $500 monthly cash payments to 3,250 Cook County residents for 24 months.

You are eligible to apply if:

You are aged 18 or older;

A resident of Cook County;

Your household income is at or below 250% of the federal poverty level or less; and

Neither you nor anyone else in your household are receiving funds from another guaranteed income pilot. This includes the City of Chicago’s Resilient Communities pilot.

Note: Cook County elected officials and employees (and their family members) are not eligible to participate in the pilot.

During the application, applicants will be asked to provide an email address or a mobile phone number so that we can get in touch with application updates. Applicants will also be prompted to upload a government-issued photo ID or selfie (a picture of yourself that clearly shows your face). At a later date, applicants may be asked to provide documents that verify their identity, residence, and household income.
