Subchapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 10:87-1.2 - Administration of the Program

Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:87-1.2

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) The Program is authorized by the U.S. Congress and regulated by the USDA. In New Jersey, the CWAs are responsible for certifying eligible households and arranging for benefit issuance outlets. Only persons employed by a CWA are legally empowered to enroll applicants in the Program.

(b) Although the counties directly administer the Program, the State is ultimately responsible for ensuring that program operations conform with Federal laws and USDA regulations.

(c) The county administration of the NJ SNAP is supported by a centralized computer management information system to comply with the requirement for keeping uniform system of records and accounts throughout the State. CWAs have access to the management information system that performs routine clerical tasks, determines eligibility status, calculates the NJ SNAP allotment, generates NJ SNAP benefits, and management and fiscal reports. This automated system expedites implementation of policy changes, eliminates duplication of effort, and allows for efficient updating of information.
