Bill Summary
This bill would permit a person between the ages of 18 and 26 to receive Work First New Jersey General Public Assistance (WFNJ/GA) benefits, even if the person is claimed as a dependent on his or her parent's or other relative's U.S. Individual Income Tax Return (1040 form). This would reverse a policy established by regulation, codified at N.J.A.C.10:90-2.8(a)15, which provides that such individuals are ineligible for WFNJ/GA benefits, even if they meet all other eligibility criteria.
