Section 10:87-2.31 - WFNJ/TANF eligibility determination (PA households)
Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:87-2.31
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) Action on the NJ SNAP portion of the application shall not be delayed nor the application denied on the grounds that the WFNJ/TANF eligibility determination has not been made.
1. If the CWA can anticipate the amount
and date of the initial WFNJ/TANF grant, but the grant will not be received
until a subsequent month, the CWA shall vary the household's NJ SNAP benefit
level according to the anticipated receipt of payment and notify the
household.
2. Portions of initial
WFNJ/TANF payments intended to retroactively cover a previous month shall be
disregarded as income and considered as lump-sum payments in accordance with
10:87-5.9(a)13.
3. If the amount or date of receipt of the
initial WFNJ/TANF payment cannot be reasonably anticipated at the time of NJ
SNAP eligibility determination, the WFNJ/TANF payments shall be treated as a
change in circumstances.
4. The CWA
is not required to send a notice of adverse action if the receipt of the
WFNJ/TANF grant reduces or terminates the household's NJ SNAP benefits,
provided the household is notified in advance that its benefits may be reduced
or terminated when the grant is received.
5. A household whose WFNJ/TANF application is
denied shall not be required to file a new NJ SNAP application but shall have
its NJ SNAP eligibility determined or continued on the basis of the original
application filed jointly for WFNJ/TANF and NJ SNAP purposes and any other
documented information obtained subsequent to the application which may have
been used in the PA determination and which is relevant to NJ SNAP eligibility
or level of benefits.
