* County residents who want to apply for SNAP food assistance, or cash assistance under the Work First New Jersey program can do so online at https://www.njhelps.org/. We will be conducting interviews by phone, so you do not need to come into the office to apply for benefits.
* Work First New Jersey cash assistance clients who are due for their case to be reviewed in March or April automatically will get a 60-day extension. You do not need to come into the office.
* If you are a Work First New Jersey cash assistance client or a SNAP food assistance client, work activity requirements are temporarily suspended. If your activity is still open and you still want to attend, you may continue to do so. If you were not assigned an activity or your activity is no longer available or accessible due to the public health situation, you will not lose cash assistance or food assistance for not going to your work activity. This includes the GA 28-day protocol. If you are in the middle of your protocol, you do not need to continue to attend your work activity.
* After agency hours, call 2-1-1 if you need to find an emergency shelter, avoid homelessness, or find help staying in your home.
* If you still need to come into the office for an appointment or to drop off documents, we are still open, but we recommend that, if possible, you apply online and do not come to the office. If you need to drop off paperwork, we have a drop box available in the front of the Division of Social Services at 400 Hollydell Drive Sewell, NJ.
