Revises SNAP application process to include certain notices, and certification and recertification requirements.
Introduced First Reading Assembly Referred to ACF
Summary
The bill directs New Jersey’s Division of Family Development to give SNAP applicants a notice written at a fourth‑grade level, in English and the seven most common non‑English languages, explaining eligibility and county agency assistance. Applicants can self‑attest to dependent‑care costs, household composition, resources, shelter expenses, and citizenship, and additional verification is required only when the information is deemed questionable. This aims to streamline the application and recertification process while maintaining safeguards.
