Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:87-12.6
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) In accordance with 7 CFR 273.10(e)(2)(ii), the formula for determining the monthly benefit allotment follows:
1. To determine the benefit households shall
receive:
i. Multiply the net monthly NJ SNAP
income by 30 percent; then
ii.
Round the product up to the next dollar if it ends in cents; then
iii. Subtract the result from the maximum
benefit allotment for that size household.
2. If the allotment is for a one or
two-person household and the initial month prorates to less than $ 10.00, the
benefit amount is zero for the initial month. The first full month of benefits,
if the allotment is less than $ 10.00, the CWA shall round up the benefit
amount to $ 10.00.
3. If the
allotment amount is for a three or more person household, the initial month's
benefit amount is zero if the allotment prorates to be less than $ 10.00. The
first full month of benefits, however, would be exactly what the household is
entitled to.
