Overview
This bill allocates $175 million from the state’s General Fund to the Department of Human Services (DHS) for Emergency SNAP Replacement Benefits in fiscal year 2026. These funds will be used to provide monthly supplemental nutrition assistance to eligible SNAP households in New Jersey when their federal benefits are temporarily reduced. The program aims to maintain SNAP benefits during periods of federal funding pauses or reductions, ensuring continued food assistance for vulnerable residents. The state will seek reimbursement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for these funds.
