ATTENTION SNAP RECIPIENTS: If your case is due to be recertified from March to September and you were unable to get your paperwork in or complete your interview, your case will not be closed. You will receive your benefits on the usual day. Your case will be recertified at some point in the future, once this public health crisis has settled. In the meantime, you will continue to receive SNAP benefits.
APPLY ONLINE: We are encouraging county residents who want to apply for SNAP food assistance, cash assistance under the Work First New Jersey program, or Medicaid to do so online at www.njhelps.org. During this public health crisis, we can do interviews by phone, so you do not need to come into the office to apply for benefits.
