S 420 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes program covering menstrual hygiene products under WIC and SNAP.

This bill (S 420) would add free menstrual hygiene products - such as tampons, pads, and menstrual cups - to New Jersey's WIC and SNAP programs. Eligible participants in these federal programs (e.g., low-income pregnant people, infants, or families) would receive these products at no cost by presenting their WIC or SNAP card at participating vendors. Vendors would submit claims to the state for reimbursement, and the Department of Human Services would seek necessary federal waivers to implement the program. The bill is pending in the Senate Health Committee and has not yet taken effect.
