The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the New Jersey Department of Human Services $29.85 million on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561), with performance through September 30, 2026. The award funds SNAP state administrative expenses and employment and training activities in New Jersey.

The recipient passes funding to 24 sub-grantees delivering SNAP outreach and related services statewide. Outreach sub-recipients—including community action programs, food banks, YMCAs, health centers, chambers of commerce, and nonprofit organizations—conduct activities ensuring vulnerable populations understand SNAP availability, eligibility requirements, application procedures, and benefits. The County of Morris receives a transportation sub-award (effective January 1, 2026) enabling TANF-eligible individuals subject to work requirements and post-TANF individuals to participate in employment-directed activities or accept employment through funding under the Transportation Block Grant and TANF programs, where monthly transit passes or transportation-related expenses cannot meet needs.

This is a formula grant providing federal financial assistance to a state SNAP administrator for operational costs. The award obligates $29.85 million for the federal fiscal year 2026.
