In 2019, Stockton, CA began the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration Program (SEED), an experiment in guaranteed income.

The program was designed with community input and provides $500 each month for 24 months to 125 residents. Program recipients can spend the payment on whatever they need, without conditions.
