MASS GOES 100% EBT FOR WIC
By the end of
this month, all WIC participants in Massachusetts will be receiving their
benefits on EBT cards. The federal government is making all states switch to
WIC EBT benefits by 2020, and Massachusetts is the first New England state to
make the move. Families using the cards in the state feel the EBT system
removes much of the stigma associated with receiving and using benefits, said
Cheryl Bartlett, commissioner of the Department of Public Health. The state
joins 14 states across the country that have made the change.
