Subchapter 3 - ELIGIBILITY FACTORS OTHER THAN NEED
Section 10:87-3.15 - Social Security numbers

Providing the Social Security Number for each household member is voluntary; however, failure to provide a SSN will result in denial of NJ SNAP benefits to each individual failing to provide a SSN. Once a SSN is verified, the CWA may share it with other State and Federal agencies. Any SSNs provided of non-applicant members shall be used and disclosed in the same manner as SSNs of eligible household members. If individuals have more than one number, all numbers shall be required. The CWA shall explain to applicants and participants that refusal or inability to provide a SSN will result in disqualification of the individual for whom the number has not been provided.
