A 5441 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DHS to reformat MyNJHelps web-based platform as centralized online resource for all State administered public assistance programs.

New Jersey's A5441 bill requires the Department of Human Services to reformat the MyNJHelps website into a single, centralized online platform for all state public assistance programs. This would allow low-income residents to apply for and track the status of programs like food assistance (SNAP), healthcare (NJFamilyCare), cash aid, child care, housing, and utility help through one website and a single application form. The bill mandates that the platform must provide state agencies with shared access to applicant information for eligibility decisions while keeping each program's administering agency unchanged. The reform must be completed within one year of the bill's effective date.
