Requires DHS and DOH to submit federal waivers to cover menstrual products under NJ FamilyCare, SNAP, WIC and establishes State funded benefit if federal waiver is denied; appropriates $2 million for State benefit.

New Jersey's S 2989 requires the Departments of Human Services (DHS) and Health (DOH) to apply for federal waivers covering menstrual hygiene products (including tampons, pads, and cups) under NJ FamilyCare, SNAP, and WIC programs. If the federal government denies these waivers, DHS must establish a state-funded program using $2 million from the General Fund to provide these products to eligible low-income residents enrolled in those assistance programs. The bill defines "eligible recipients" as individuals qualifying for NJ FamilyCare, SNAP, or WIC, and mandates that households certify minor menstruators in their household for benefit eligibility. It also requires DHS and DOH to create an educational campaign about the new benefits and post information online.
