Since the United States Government started sending stimulus checks through the American Rescue Plan, many Americans have gotten extra payments that have been a great help. And now in the State of Texas we are going to be able to enjoy the Uplift Program, which provides payments of $500 for eligible citizens.
If you live in the State of Texas you may be on the list of those eligible to get this stimulus check, so it’s worth checking out how to apply. In the event that we get a confirmation of this payment we could have access to a good amount of money for quite some time. And best of all, we could combine this payment with other benefits for the most part.

To get this stimulus check the main requirement is to live in Texas. But that is not the only requirement. Also, it is not enough to live within the State of Texas, it is mandatory to live in a specific place. But just by living in that city you will have almost all the requirements fulfilled.
The Uplift program can award a total payment of $9,000 per month. This means that when the help runs out, the beneficiary will have a good amount of extra dollars in his or her possession each month. Do you meet the requirements for this benefit and will you be able to apply for it?
UPLIFT PROGRAM STIMULUS CHECK ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
It is important to check each one of the requirements if we want to obtain this benefit. To do so, we only need to comply with several key elements. If we meet them, we will have access to apply for this benefit.
Let’s take a look at the list of requirements:
- It is mandatory to live in Harris County, Texas, at the time of applying for stimulus check.
- It is also mandatory to have an annual income below 200% of the federal poverty level, i.e., an average of $40,000 for a family of 4.
- On the other hand, it is also mandatory to live in one of the following ZIP Codes: 77050, 77093, 77051, 77060, 77028, 77033, 77026, 77081, 77547 and 77091.
If we meet these requirements we will be able to request the check. The number of mailings is going to be very large, so most of the citizens who want to get this stimulus check are going to be able to enjoy the benefit. A total of 1,500 applications will be accepted.
HOW TO APPLY FOR THE TEXAS UPLIFT PROGRAM?
To do so, all we need to do is access the program’s official website. Through it we will only have to enter some data. After that, the payment will start to arrive if our family is selected to get a check.
As we have already mentioned, the maximum accepted applications will be 1,500 in total. This means that only 1,500 families will have access to the payment out of all those who send the application. The selection process will be done randomly, so if you meet the requirements you will not be able to do anything else to get the payment. You can only wait to see if you are a beneficiary.
If you are, you will get a check of $500 per month for 18 months. This payment can be used for whatever you need, so don’t worry about justifying expenses. On top of all that, this stimulus check will not take into account the type of income.
This means that if we have a Social Security benefit or some other type of check it won’t matter. The important thing is not to go over the threshold we have discussed in the requirements. The type of income is not important, so there would be no problem in collecting a retirement benefit and this stimulus check.
