Makes supplemental appropriation of $8 million to DHS to increase reimbursement for funeral, burial, and crematory services provided to certain beneficiaries of Work First New Jersey and Supplemental Security Income programs.

This bill (A 1904) allocates $8 million in supplemental funding to New Jersey's Department of Human Services for the Division of Family Development. It directly increases reimbursements paid to funeral homes and cemeteries by $1,000 per eligible person for funeral, burial, or cremation services provided to beneficiaries of the Work First New Jersey and Supplemental Security Income programs. The funds are added to existing appropriations (not replacing them) to raise the reimbursement level above current caps, which previously covered only about 28% of average service costs. This change specifically affects funeral service providers and program participants by expanding financial support for end-of-life services.
