The claim that a new bill will give Gen Z and Millennials $1,400 in cash is somewhat misleading. The bill which was introduced, not yet passed, by Michigan Representative, Rashida Tlaib, is called the Youth Homelessness Guaranteed Income Pilot Program Act. This act will target specific groups, primarily minors and young adults under 30 experiencing homelessness. It is not a program which will offer financial support to all Gen Z and Millennials but rather the bill proposes $1,400 in monthly cash aid for these vulnerable individuals over the course of three years in an attempt to combat homelessness among youth populations. The goal is to provide assistance to unhoused individuals to improve housing stability and employment not to provide financial support to all members of Gen Z and Millennials
