NextImg:Stimulus update: Direct payment worth up to $400 to be paid to Massachusetts residents in four days


In only four days, recipients of a food and utility subsidy program in Chelsea, Massachusetts, will receive their next payment from the program.

Payments ranging from $200 to $400 will be given to 738 selected households on Saturday. The funds are meant to subsidize food and utility bill payments. A Chelsea city spokesperson told the Washington Examiner that the funds would be loaded on recipients' debit cards, which were issued in early March.

"Recipients of the program will be chosen using a lottery system," the program's website read. "City staff is reviewing applications and giving preferences to applicants with children under 18, disabled residents, veterans, seniors over 65, families who are ineligible for other forms of federal assistance, families with a female-identifying head of household, and families with a member with a marginalized gender identity."

The amount issued depends on how many people are in the household. A household of one will receive $200, a household of two will receive $300, and a household of three or more will receive $400.

To be eligible, families had to have been residents of Chelsea and had a household income 30% less than the area median. Households of one would have to make below $29,450, and households of two would have to make below $33,650 to be part of the program. The amount increased for each additional member of the household.

This marks the second payment to be issued by this program to recipients. The first payment was already issued on March 15, and the final payment will be issued on May 15.

The spokesperson informed the Washington Examiner that the program would be discontinued after the final payment.
