Requires Governor's Office of Volunteerism to promote and support volunteerism for compliance with certain eligibility requirements for NJ FamilyCare and SNAP recipients; appropriates $200,000 to DHS, Office of Volunteerism, and DOLWD.*

Summary

The bill orders the Department of Human Services and the Governor’s Office of Volunteerism to create online and mobile tools that let Medicaid (NJ FamilyCare) and SNAP beneficiaries find and record volunteer work that can satisfy new federal work‑hour rules. It provides $200,000 for the effort, mandates annual audits of the volunteer listings, and shields the state from liability for injuries that occur while volunteering. The aim is to keep people from losing health or food benefits because of paperwork burdens or difficulty meeting the new requirements.
