For families and individuals that receive SNAP benefits in Massachusetts, HIP is a program that gives extra SNAP funds for fruits and vegetables. As long as a SNAP recipient has any balance (as little as $0.01) on their card, they can access their full $40+ HIP benefit.
Benefits are based on family size:
1-2 people - $40
3-5 people - $60
6+ people - $80
Go to DTA HIP Finder to locate a participating HIP Vendor.
