Overview
This bill updates the process for applying for New Jersey’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It requires the Department of Human Services to provide applicants with a notice explaining eligibility requirements and the role of their local SNAP agency. Applicants must also self-attest to information regarding dependent care, household composition, financial resources, shelter expenses, and citizenship status. The bill also outlines a process for addressing potentially questionable self-attestations and mandates the creation of rules to implement these changes.
