Sometimes people feel they don't need help putting food on the table, but sometimes making ends meet is a struggle.  If you're not sure how or if you can pay for your next meal or next week's purchases, NJ SNAP can help. You can also apply by fax or mail to your local county welfare office.


Once you have received the application, you will be contacted to schedule an interview to confirm the application information.


Please also note that households in which all members are applicants or recipients of supplementary security income (SSI) can apply for NJ SNAP at the same time that they apply for SSI at the Social Security District Office.


NJ SNAP benefits are issued via the user-friendly "Families First" electronic benefits card.  SNAP Standard Utility Allowance in New Jersey - Federal Guidelines (PDF)
