New Financial Hardship Discount Requirements from the CCC

How can I receive a financial hardship discount?

In order to be compliant with the the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, CAC requires verification including one of the following documents in order to obtain a hardship discount:

  • Official MassHealth acceptance letter for the current year, or official MassHealth re-determination letter for the current year (we do not accept MassHealth Managed Care or official MassHealth cards)

  • SSI benefit verification letter for the current year (Social Security Disability Insurance benefit does not qualify)

  • State or federal tax return from this year or last year, including all attachments; or

  • SNAP Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) statement from the current year (submitting your Department of Transitional Assistance card is not sufficient documentation for a fee waiver approval).
