Newly implemented systems will increase program efficiency and improve access to critical safety-net benefits for all low-income Massachusetts residents
On July 27th, the Baker Administration implemented a portion of FY21 and FY22 budget language and began allowing low-income households applying for or renewing MassHealth online to apply for SNAP food benefits at the same time.
