N.J. Admin. Code § 10:90-3.2 - Determining initial financial eligibility for WFNJ/TANF assistance units with dependent children

(a) For the initial financial eligibility test, that is, in order to determine initial financial eligibility for assistance units applying for WFNJ/TANF as a new applicant, reapplicant or reopened case, all countable income available to the assistance unit shall be considered and compared to the initial maximum allowable income levels for the appropriate eligible assistance unit size in Schedule I at N.J.A.C. 10:90-3.3. If the assistance unit has income equal to or less than the initial maximum allowable income level for the appropriate unit size, then WFNJ/TANF initial financial eligibility exists.

(b) WFNJ/TANF initial maximum allowable financial income eligibility levels are based on 150 percent of the maximum benefit payment levels (provided within the limit of funds appropriated by the Legislature) for the appropriate assistance unit size in Schedule II at N.J.A.C. 10:90-3.3.
