Guaranteed Income Pilot Program Act of 2025

This bill would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services, working with the IRS, to run a 3-year pilot program that gives a guaranteed monthly cash payment to selected taxpayers ages 18 to 65. A total of 20,000 people would be selected, and 10,000 of them would receive a payment each month equal to the fair market rent for a 2-bedroom home in their ZIP Code. The payments would not count as income, or as resources for 12 months, when deciding eligibility for federal or federally funded benefit programs. An outside research partner would help design and study the program, and the Secretary would send interim and final reports to Congress. The bill authorizes $495 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
