For complete details, visit the statement by the Mass Department of Transitional Assistance:
Starting February 2, 2021, all current SNAP recipients will see the 15% increase to their SNAP benefits. Households will receive this increase from February through July. The first week of each month, households will get a payment equal to the increase for the prior month’s regular SNAP amount. For example: in February, recipients will receive the increase for their January benefits.
- If you have already been getting the special payment the first week of each month, you will see the 15% increase payments with that payment.
- If you have not been getting the emergency allotment payment each month, you will get this as a standalone payment.
