S 4087 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DHS to establish system to ensure distribution of funds for certain support services for General Assistance beneficiaries ceases upon beneficiary's exit from support service.

This New Jersey bill requires the Department of Human Services to create a system that stops funding for substance use disorder treatment and housing once a General Assistance recipient leaves the service. The law authorizes officials to contact providers and beneficiaries to verify when services ended and to demand repayment from any provider who received funds for a client who is no longer receiving care. By mandating immediate cessation of payments upon discharge, the measure aims to prevent the state from paying for services that are no longer being delivered.
