Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 30, 2026

1. Information We Collect

MassBenefitsHelper ("we," "us," or "our") provides a free preliminary eligibility screener for Massachusetts public assistance programs. To estimate potential eligibility, our screening tool collects user-submitted information, which may include:

• Household size and general geographic location (e.g., zip code or town).

• Estimated household income, assets, and housing expenses.

• Household characteristics relevant to state program rules (such as pregnancy, disability, age, or citizenship/immigration status).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide strictly to evaluate potential eligibility for state and local benefits programs (such as SNAP, MassHealth, RAFT, and Fuel Assistance) and to direct you to official application resources.

3. Data Privacy & Confidentiality

• We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, advertisers, or commercial entities.

• We are an independent resource and do not share your responses with government agencies or benefits administrators without your explicit request or consent.

• Completing our screener does not constitute an official government application.

4. Third-Party Services

We utilize trusted third-party platforms to power our site infrastructure and forms (including Squarespace and Fillout.com). These platforms process data securely in accordance with industry security standards. If you choose to purchase optional digital resources or toolkits, payment details are processed securely through Stripe; we do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.
