Food Resources
- This year, universal free school meals will be available for all Massachusetts students.
- We know that buying groceries right now can be very stressful. We encourage you to check your eligibility and apply for SNAP. SNAP is like P-EBT and provides monthly money on a card to buy food. You can buy food in many stores or online at select retailers.
- P-EBT was temporarily created to replace meals during the pandemic while schools were closed to in-person learning. Based on federal rules, students attending school in-person are not eligible for P-EBT. More information will be shared for this school year when available. Keep your P-EBT card.
Am I eligible for SNAP/ how much will I get?
Eligibility is based on your household’s size and income. During the COVID emergency, you will get more SNAP money. For example:
|
Household Size |
Your Income (Before Taxes) |
Monthly SNAP Money |
|
2 |
$2,903 |
$459 |
|
3 |
$3,660 |
$658 |
|
4 |
$4,417 |
$835 |
Can I get SNAP if I am an immigrant?
Like P-EBT, using SNAP does not impact you or your kid's immigration status and is not part of the “public charge” test. If you are not a US citizen, it is safe for you to get SNAP for an eligible family member (like your US citizen child).
