The program provides stimulus payments to seniors who qualify and those with disabilities to help make ends meet. Through the program, up to 3,300 residents will receive one-time payments of $300 that are intended to offset financial strain they’ve endured during the coronavirus pandemic.

Applicants were asked to create a profile on the program’s website ahead of time. Those who need help with their applications were told to call 904-255-8888. The city said about 10 a.m. Saturday that operators were not adding more names to the waiting list.
