– Many New Jerseyans who receive food
assistance
through the state’s Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (NJ SNAP) will receive
additional benefits in November to help
address
critical food needs related to the COVID-19
pandemic.<BR><BR>An additional estimated
$44.8
million will be provided to about 253,000
New
Jersey households for November.<BR>SNAP
supplemental payments were included in the
federal Families First Coronavirus Response
Act.
Once paid in November, Human Services will
have
provided nearly $346 million in total
additional
NJ SNAP benefits since March to New
Jerseyans to
help purchase groceries. The payments are
contingent upon month-to-month United States
Department of Agriculture approval.<BR><BR>“We
are providing as much food assistance as
possible to eligible New Jersey households,”
Human Services Commissioner Carole Johnson
said.
“Our state’s Congressional delegation has
worked
hard protecting residents as we respond to
this
pandemic, and these additional food
assistance
benefits make a difference in the lives of
many
New Jerseyans.”<BR><BR>The supplemental
benefits
will be directly loaded to NJ SNAP
recipients’
Families First EBT cards as part of their
regular monthly payment.<BR>NJ SNAP provides
food assistance to families with low incomes
to
help them buy groceries through a benefit
card
accepted in most food retail stores and
farmer’s
markets. Families can now also use their
cards
at select online grocery retailers to help
maintain social distancing during the
pandemic.<BR>The program serves about
769,000
New Jerseyans in about 395,000 households,
with
the monthly SNAP benefit based on household
size
and income.<BR><BR>“Food assistance remains
as
important as ever to families and
individuals
amid the ongoing economic difficulties and
the
health crisis,” Human Services Deputy
Commissioner Elisa Neira said. “This will
help
keep families healthy and secure.”<BR><BR>“We
encourage residents who need food assistance
to
visit and apply for SNAP online at <A
href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.njhelps.org/__;!!J30X0ZrnC1oQtbA!aWG_QX2H-Ts6yor-GBkOtw2c4CASQoahTpuM32uFgk51KN5sJvclVOD8zSEfsytJchg$">www.NJHelps.org</A>,”
said Assistant Commissioner Natasha Johnson,
who
directs Human Services’ Division of Family
Development and oversees the SNAP program.
“I
also thank the county Boards of Social
Services
staff who continue working tirelessly to get
vital assistance to households.”<BR><BR>Human
Services has also taken the following steps
to
help New Jerseyans access affordable food
during
the emergency:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
