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

(a) Except for households assigned to simplified reporting (see 10:87-9.5(b) ) , the CWA shall assign each household the longest certification period possible, consistent with its circumstances.

1. Households should be assigned certification periods of at least 12 months, unless a household's circumstances are unstable or the household contains an ABAWD.

2. Households with unstable circumstances, such as households with zero net income, and households with an ABAWD member, should be assigned certification periods consistent with their circumstances, but generally no less than three months.

3. Households may be assigned one- or two-month certification periods when it appears likely the household will become ineligible for NJ SNAP benefits in the near future.
