The post went on to explain that updates for the program would be posted on social media, as well as the official website.

The program was meant to deliver one-time payments of $1000 to accepted applicants but had not previously stated how many applications would be accepted.

The official website stated that the application window was originally set to close on Saturday, December 19, 2020, or when funds had run out.
