subdivision for the purpose of making payments to individuals under a guaranteed
income program. “Guaranteed income program” is defined under the bill to mean a
program under which individuals are provided with regular periodic cash payments
that are unearned and that may be used for any purpose. Programs under which an
individual is required to perform work or attend training are not “guaranteed income
