AI Summary
This bill establishes the Evergreen Basic Income Pilot Program within the Department of Social and Health Services. The program will provide 24 monthly payments to participants who are at least 18 years old, are Washington residents, have income under 200% of the federal poverty level, and are experiencing specific life transitions or conditions associated with high economic instability. The monthly payments will equal 100% of the fair market rent in the participant's county. The program will be overseen by a board of directors and the Department will contract with a third-party vendor to administer the program and conduct an evaluation. The bill also directs state agencies to minimize the impact of the basic income payments on participants' eligibility for other public assistance programs.
