Part-time workers in Oklahoma now have a reason to breathe easier. A new stimulus program offering $2,900 in direct financial support is being rolled out to assist those working fewer hours who have been hit hardest by inflation and unstable job conditions. This initiative aims to close the income gap and provide urgent relief for part-time employees who often miss out on traditional aid.
Who Qualifies for the Payment?

Applicants must be Oklahoma residents who have been employed part-time for at least three months during the current or previous year. Your income must not exceed $40,000 annually for individuals or $70,000 for households. Those who work under 30 hours per week, including students, caregivers, and gig economy participants, are strongly encouraged to apply.
Application Process and Key Deadlines
To receive the stimulus, eligible residents must submit an online application through the Oklahoma Human Services website. The process includes verifying employment hours, uploading recent pay stubs, and confirming residency.
