A 2058 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DHS to reformat MyNJHelps web-based platform as centralized online resource for all State administered public assistance programs.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Human Services to expand the MyNJHelps online platform into a single centralized system for all state public assistance programs within 365 days. It mandates that the platform become the sole online hub where applicants can access information about, apply for, and check the status of all state programs - including SNAP, WFNJ, NJFamilyCare, healthcare, food assistance, housing aid, and more - using one unified application. The bill specifies that existing program administrators (like those for Medicaid or food stamps) will remain unchanged, but the platform must enable all agencies to share applicant data securely for eligibility decisions. This directly affects low-income New Jersey residents applying for state benefits by simplifying access to multiple programs through a single digital portal.
