Revises Work First New Jersey program and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program procedures to require information on security protocols be provided when replacement benefit cards are issued.
This bill requires that replacement benefit cards for the Work First New Jersey program and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) must include written instructions on how to lock and unlock the card to prevent unauthorized use. Currently, replacement cards are issued without these security instructions. The change ensures recipients receive clear, actionable guidance when obtaining a new card, directly affecting individuals who need replacement cards for cash assistance or food benefits. This amendment modifies existing law (Section 5 of P.L.1997, c.37) to mandate the provision of security protocols at the time of card replacement.
