More than 233,000 Cook County residents applied to be part of the $42 million program, and all 3,250 households that won a lottery to participate received the first of 24 $500 monthly payments.
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle speaks about the county’s cash assistance program on May 18, 2022.
“We trust that participants will use this assistance to build a financial foundation for themselves and their families,” said Preckwinkle, who has vowed to make the program — funded by federal funds designed to address the economic damage caused by COVID-19 pandemic — permanent. More than half of participants have jobs, officials said. Nearly one-third of participants have delayed medical care because they couldn’t afford it, and 15% have a disability, according to county data.
