Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 10:87-2.12 - NJ SNAP application form

(a) The composition of the applicant household will determine the appropriate NJ SNAP application to be used:

1. PA/NJ SNAP households are those NJ SNAP households (as determined at 10:87-2.2) in which any member is in receipt of TANF or GA, SSI or is a household that is categorically eligible in accordance with 10:87-2.32, and shall be counted as PA/NJ SNAP households. Additionally, a case that is categorically eligible or is receiving TANF payments for transportation, child care or to subsidize wages, is counted as a PA/NJ SNAP household. For such households the appropriate application form is the Form WFNJ-1J ("Application and Affidavit for Public Assistance") which will serve as a joint application for public assistance and NJ SNAP benefits.

2. NPA households are those NJ SNAP households (as determined at 10:87-2.2) that do not meet the definition of PA households. For such households, the appropriate application form is NJ SNAP Application.

3. SSI jointly processed households are those households in which all members are applicants for, or recipients of, SSI and are neither certified for, nor have an application for NJ SNAP benefits pending and have applied for NJ SNAP benefits at a Social Security Administration district office (SSA/DO). For such households, the appropriate application form is NJ SNAP Application (see 10:87-2.33) .

(b) All applicants for NJ SNAP benefits shall be notified at the time of application, and at each recertification, through a written statement, that information available through the State IEVS will be requested to verify eligibility. Discrepancies found are subject to additional verification through collateral contact and such information may affect the household's eligibility and benefits.

(c) The applicant is required to sign the application that shall contain a statement attesting under penalty of perjury to the citizenship of each household member applying for benefits or alien status of each household member applying for benefits. The income and resources of the ineligible member(s) shall be considered available in determining the eligibility of any remaining household members in accordance with 10:87-7.7.
