Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:87-2.21

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024

(a) The CWA shall ensure that the required verifications are obtained prior to certification. If documentary evidence of Social Security and/or SSI benefits is not readily available from the applicant, the CWA may verify the income through the Beneficiary Data Exchange (BENDEX) and/or the State Data Exchange (SDX). The CWA shall not verify wages through use of the BENDEX.

(b) The CWA may, however, use the BENDEX/SDX data to verify other NJ SNAP eligibility criteria provided the household is given an opportunity to verify the information from another source if the BENDEX/SDX information is contradictory to the household's information or is unavailable. However, determination of a household's eligibility and benefit level shall not be delayed beyond the application processing time standards (see 10:87-2.26 ), if the BENDEX/SDX data are unavailable.
