Overview
This bill allocates $8 million from the state’s general fund to the Department of Human Services (DHS) to increase reimbursement payments for funeral, burial, and crematory services provided to individuals receiving Work First New Jersey and Supplemental Security Income benefits. The additional funds will be used to raise the reimbursement level by $1,000 per eligible person, aiming to address a significant funding gap between the current allowable payment and the average cost of these services. This supplemental appropriation does not replace existing funding under the 2021 appropriations act.
