A 3162 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DHS to use funds awarded from performance bonuses to increase staffing for processing certain applications and providing certain services.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) to use funds from performance bonuses it receives to hire more staff. Specifically, it directs DHS to increase trained personnel for processing food stamp applications (SNAP), public assistance applications under the Work First New Jersey program, and staffing facilities for individuals with developmental disabilities or mental illness. The funds must be used for these exact purposes as specified in the bill, depending on which program the bonus was awarded for. This policy change ensures existing bonus money is directly allocated to improving service capacity in key human services areas.
