Yang to give 'Freedom Dividend' of $12K next year to Iowa, New Hampshire families

Businessman and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang is working on a plan to give out $1,000 per month to two families in New Hampshire and Iowa as a way of demonstrating the benefits of his "Freedom Dividend" plan.

Yang told New Hampshire Public Radio and the Des Moines Register that one family in each state will receive $1,000 per month, funded personally by Yang, for a year after making it through an application process on his presidential campaign website.

“I’m going to be giving a Freedom Dividend to a person or family in Iowa. That’s $1,000 a month for 12 months out of my own pocket,” he told the Register.

“We are looking for someone that would be a good illustration of many families facing issues here in Iowa,” Yang said. “Also, someone who’s willing to share their story.”
