In recent years, stimulus checks have been extremely useful for the citizens of the United States. Thanks to these checks, many Americans are able to pay their monthly bills without any problems. The purpose of the stimulus checks is none other than to help those in need.
The idea was born after the last Pandemic through the American Rescue Plan. As of today, federal stimulus checks do not exist as such, but they do exist in other areas. In the case of state financial help, the provision is different.
Therefore, we can say that many states are still sending stimulus checks to their residents. And in this particular case we see that Los Angeles County will send checks of $1,000 to eligible residents.
However, it is mandatory to meet all the requirements imposed by the State. Otherwise we will not be able to apply for the check. Even so, this State has not yet sent the payments, so we may be able to receive them.
Requirements for the $1,000 stimulus check per month
It is important to note that the requirements are mandatory. In addition to that, also keep in mind that the selection is done on a random basis. So if you are on the eligible list you have a chance to get the benefit.
The requirements, according to the official website of the County of Los Angeles are:
- Be between 21 years old and under 24 (won’t turn 24 until September 1, 2023 or later) when applying
- Be a former Los Angeles County DCFS foster youth who was in care on or after their 18th birthday (AKA “aged out”)
- Live in a Los Angeles County neighborhood that falls at or below 100% of the County’s Area Median Household Income (AMI)
- Have a household income that falls at or below 100% of the County’s AMI, for a single person household
OR

With this information we can now know whether or not we directly have the opportunity to receive this stimulus check.
