Relief checks for elderly residents in Miami: more than $600!
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniela Levine Cava announced the checks this year would be larger than the usual $100. Recipients will receive a whopping sum of $617. This amount, which comes from the home assistance fund, is intended to provide financial relief for older residents who meet certain requirements.
To access this increased one-time payment, you must be over 65, own a home, and have an annual salary of less than $35,000. The mayor emphasized that this benefit is only valid for this year due to the difficulties that many have faced.
Levine Cava explained that funding for this program comes from a variety of sources, such as construction costs, home values and taxes. “We know that receiving a larger check would be a huge relief, especially this year,” he said.
The recipients were very happy and many said that this unexpected gift was like a surprise from Santa Claus. If you have any questions or concerns about the Save Our Seniors Homeowner Relief Fund, please call 3-1-1.
