A 6115 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DHS to promote and support volunteerism in connection to compliance with certain eligibility requirements for NJ FamilyCare and SNAP recipients.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services to create a web-based tool and mobile app to help NJ FamilyCare (healthcare) and SNAP (food assistance) recipients find and report volunteer work that meets new federal work requirements. Specifically, it mandates a searchable database of approved volunteer opportunities, a mobile app for submitting hours, and links to these tools on official NJ FamilyCare and SNAP websites. The state must also establish a system for organizations to register volunteer opportunities and conduct annual audits to verify submitted hours. The bill aims to simplify compliance for beneficiaries affected by expanded work rules under federal law, while providing state immunity from liability for volunteer injuries related to the tool.
