AI Summary

This bill aims to improve food stamp enrollment for seniors in Massachusetts. The key provision is that the state Department of Transitional Assistance, in collaboration with the Department of Elder Affairs and local councils on aging, will provide educational programs at senior centers and outreach to elderly individuals over the age of 60 to assist with enrolling them in the food stamp (or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP) if they are eligible. This is intended to increase participation in the food assistance program among the state's senior population.
