(a) The Families First Program is the mandatory method of distributing NJ SNAP program benefits to eligible households. Families First eliminates the need for the issuance of NJ SNAP ATP documents and NJ SNAP coupons by the CWAs. Families First utilizes a technology called Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT). In EBT, each payee is issued a magnetic-stripe plastic card which the payee uses to access his or her benefits. This card is called the Families First card.

(b) All provisions and standards applicable to the Families First Program can be found at N.J.A.C. 10:88 (Families First Manual).

(c) The Families First card is not proof of Medicaid eligibility.
