S 2330 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes One-Year State Work First New Jersey Menstrual Hygiene Benefit Pilot Program and State Work First New Jersey Diaper Benefit Pilot Program; appropriates $2.5 million to DHS.*

S 2330 establishes a one-year pilot program providing two new benefits for participants in New Jersey's Work First New Jersey (WFNJ) cash assistance program, which supports low-income residents. It allocates $2.5 million to the Department of Human Services to distribute a $14 monthly benefit for menstrual hygiene products (e.g., tampons, pads, cups) to participants aged 18-50 who menstruate, and a $30 monthly benefit per child under 36 months for diaper products to parents in the program. Benefits are delivered via existing WFNJ electronic cards on the same schedule as standard benefits, with unspent funds rolling over to the next month for the same purpose. The bill defines eligible products and requires their exclusive use for the specified items.
