Selected recipients of the Chelsea Eats program in Chelsea, Massachusetts, will only have to wait just over two weeks before they receive their first payment.

The program will give 738 households, all of whom were selected as recipients on Feb. 15, payments ranging from $200 to $400 to help them buy food and pay utility bills. These payments will be given to recipients via debit cards, with the city planning to distribute these cards early next month and have the cards activated by March 15, a Chelsea city spokesperson told the Washington Examiner.

"The City notified recipients directly via correspondence; all recipients need to come in person to pick up their card on their assigned day," the spokesperson said.

The amount that people will receive from this payment will vary depending on the recipient's household size: A household of one will receive a payment of $200, a household of two will get $300, and any households with three or more people will receive a payment of $400.

This payment will be the first of three payments that recipients will receive from this program. The second and third payments will be issued to recipients in April and May, respectively.

For a household of one, this income level would be $29,450, and for a household of two, it would be $33,650, with the income limit increasing slightly for every additional person in a household.
