NJSNAP Food Assistance

You may now be able to receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to help you buy the groceries you need to eat well and stay healthy.

During the public health emergency, you may be eligible for SNAP benefits if you are enrolled at least half time in an institution of higher education and you are:

  • Approved to participate in the institution’s federal work-study program; or
  • Have an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of zero in the current academic year.
