A 5253 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes New Jersey Military Recruit Graduation Assistance Program in DMVA.

This bill establishes a New Jersey Military Recruit Graduation Assistance Program within the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA). It provides financial help to cover expenses for immediate family members (spouses, parents, children, or siblings) of military recruits who qualify as low-income - defined as having a household income at or below 50% of the median for their household size in their housing region. The DMVA must create application guidelines, eligibility criteria, and award procedures without charging applicants, and will track all assistance provided. The program requires future legislative funding to operate, as noted in the bill's statement.
