Expands Lifeline Credit and Tenants' Lifeline Assistance Programs to include assistance for water utility bill.

This bill expands New Jersey's existing Lifeline Credit Program and Tenants' Lifeline Assistance Program to include water utility bill assistance. Currently, these programs provide a $225 annual credit toward electricity and gas bills for eligible low-income residents who qualify for PAAD, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or Social Security disability benefits. The bill amends the relevant laws to explicitly cover water utility bills alongside electricity and gas, ensuring the same $225 credit applies to all three utility types. It directly affects qualifying residents receiving PAAD, SSI, or disability benefits who pay water bills as part of their household expenses. The policy change requires no new eligibility criteria - only extends existing coverage to water utilities.
