The Chelsea Eats program will be sending its final payments to qualifying residents in Massachusetts.
Amount of Chelsea Eats Program Subsidy
The Chelsea Eats program has been helping Massachusetts’s residents and providing food and utility subsidies. The residents of Massachusetts will receive their final payment on May 15, The Gazette reported.
Payments will range from $200 to $400 and will be received by 738 households in Massachusetts.
