N.J. Admin. Code § 10:87-12.6

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 10:87-12.6 - Monthly benefit allotment

(a) In accordance with 7 CFR 273.10(e)(2)(ii), the formula for determining the monthly benefit allotment follows:

1. To determine the benefit households shall receive:

i. Multiply the net monthly NJ SNAP income by 30 percent; then

ii. Round the product up to the next dollar if it ends in cents; then

iii. Subtract the result from the maximum benefit allotment for that size household.

2. If the allotment is for a one or two-person household and the initial month prorates to less than $ 10.00, the benefit amount is zero for the initial month. The first full month of benefits, if the allotment is less than $ 10.00, the CWA shall round up the benefit amount to $ 10.00.

3. If the allotment amount is for a three or more person household, the initial month's benefit amount is zero if the allotment prorates to be less than $ 10.00. The first full month of benefits, however, would be exactly what the household is entitled to.
