Overview
This bill expands two existing New Jersey assistance programs – the Lifeline Credit Program and the Tenants’ Lifeline Assistance Program – to include support for water utility bills. It amends existing legislation to allow eligible residents, including those receiving PAAD, SSI, or Social Security disability benefits, to receive a credit towards their water bills. The bill also requires the Department of Human Services to establish eligibility criteria and the state to pay utility companies for the credits provided. Finally, it mandates reporting on the program’s implementation and impact.
