Can I use Summer EBT benefits out of state?

Summer EBT benefits are generally intended to be used within the state of Massachusetts. The program is designed to provide assistance during the summer months when children may not have access to free or reduced-price meals provided by schools. As such, it operates similarly to other benefit programs, like SNAP, that have specific guidelines regarding usage. Typically, recipients should expect to use their benefits at authorized retailers within Massachusetts. It is advisable to check the official Massachusetts Summer EBT Program website for any specific guidelines or exceptions that may apply regarding out-of-state use. Staying informed through the official website will provide the most accurate and current information regarding benefits and their allowable usage.
