Overview
This bill changes how New Jersey’s Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA) verifies income for students applying for state grants and scholarships. It allows students who can’t provide traditional documentation (like tax returns) to submit monthly expense and resource statements. HESAA will also be required to impute an ‘in-kind support’ amount, assuming a minimal standard of living, for students reporting zero income, effectively recognizing support provided to the student.
