An act relating to universal basic income payments for youth exiting foster care

This bill (H 126) requires Vermont's Department for Children and Families to provide monthly universal basic income payments to youth who have recently aged out of foster care. It directly affects young adults transitioning from state foster care systems, typically those turning 18 or 21. The key provision mandates regular, automatic monthly payments without requiring recipients to apply or meet income thresholds. The bill aims to provide immediate financial stability during a critical transition period, as outlined in its stated purpose.
