Posted on: May 1, 2020 - 8:50am
Do you receive SNAP Benefits?
Many New Jerseyans who receive food assistance through NJ SNAP will receive a higher benefit in May to help address critical food needs related to the COVID‐19 pandemic.
- You will receive the difference between your regular SNAP and the maximum benefit for your family size.
- For example, if you are a family of one, the maximum benefit is $194 per month so you will receive the difference between your regular monthly amount and $194.
For a family of three the maximum amount is $509, so you will receive the difference between your regular monthly amount and $509. - The extra benefit will be added directly to your families EBT card. You will receive your May SNAP benefits during your regular time at the new maximum level.
