Establishes "2020 New Jersey Burial Assistance Program;" appropriates $20 million.
This bill establishes the "2020 New Jersey Burial Assistance Program" to provide financial help for funeral costs related to COVID-19 deaths during the state's public health emergency. It appropriates $20 million to cover eligible expenses (like burial or cremation) not covered by insurance or other aid, targeting New Jersey residents who incurred these costs. Applicants must prove residency, a COVID-19 death attribution from a medical official, and provide documentation of income, assets, and other assistance received. Funds will first use available federal COVID-19 relief (if permitted), with remaining costs coming from the state General Fund, and the program expires one year after the Governor ends the emergency order.
