Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s county welfare agencies to encourage clients to use a free personal finance platform offered by the State’s Department of Treasury. The agencies are directed to promote this platform alongside any existing financial planning services they provide. The bill was amended to remove requirements for the agencies to directly provide financial planning services, focusing instead on promotion of the existing platform. This aims to improve financial literacy and resources for individuals accessing welfare services.
