Recipients of a food and utility subsidy program in Chelsea, Massachusetts, will receive their final payment from the program in 26 days. These payments, ranging from $200 to $400 in value, will be given to 738 selected households on May 15. The funds from this initiative, called the Chelsea Eats program, are meant to subsidize food and utility costs. A Chelsea spokesperson told the Washington Examiner that the funds are loaded on recipients' debit cards, which were issued in early March. To be eligible, families had to have been residents of Chelsea with a household income of 30% less than the area median.
