Currently, there are at least 82 municipalities in 29 states conducting universal basic income experiments. This includes over 70 pilot programs created during the past year per a coalition of over 100 American mayors pushing the UBI.

According to a report by John Haughey of The Epoch Times, Mayors for Guaranteed Income and its coalition members are calling on local governments to roll out pilot programs with federal pandemic assistance from a $350 billion fund for state and local governments within the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), enacted in March 2021.
