These payments, ranging from $200 to $400, will be given to 738 selected households on April 15. The payments are meant to subsidize food and utility bill payments for residents.A Chelsea city spokesperson told the Washington Examiner that the funds will be loaded onto recipients' debit cards, which were already issued to recipients in early March. Recipients were chosen through a lottery system.
"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 first payment was issued on March 15, and the final payment will be issued on May 15. The spokesperson informed the Washington Examiner that the program will be discontinued after the final payment.
