BOOST Act of 2025

This bill would create an Office of Universal Adult Assistance within the Social Security Administration. Starting in 2026, the office would pay $250 per month to each approved applicant who lives in the United States, is a citizen, national, or qualified alien, and is between 19 and 67 years old. The payment amount would rise with inflation after 2026, and the payments would not count as taxable income or as income when deciding eligibility for other government programs. The bill would also add a new 2.5 percent federal tax on adjusted gross income above $60,000 for joint returns and $30,000 for other filers, with no credits or deductions allowed to reduce this tax.
