The following information was shared by the Cumberland County Department of Health.
SNAP: New Jersey was notified by the federal government that if the shutdown continues, November 2025 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits may not be available on time. It is unclear if SNAP benefits loaded on participants’ Families First EBT card prior to October 31, 2025 will be able to be used after November 1, 2025. NJ Human Services has alerted community food banks and pantries as well as more than 5,000 stores, grocers, and farmers markets that accept SNAP that the USDA has directed NJ to hold monthly benefits for November. For more information www.nj.gov/humanservices/dfd/
WIC: NJ WIC remains open at this time. Participants should keep their WIC appointments and continue using their eWIC card at any WIC store. For more information www.nj.gov/health/fhs/wic/
Work First New Jersey (WFNJ) benefits should be available on time. For more information www.nj.gov/humanservices/dfd/
