Families across New Jersey are set to benefit from a new $5,100 state-level stimulus package, aimed at providing financial relief amid continued economic strain. This initiative focuses on households with children, low-to-moderate income earners, and families facing rising living expenses. With applications now open, residents are encouraged to act fast to ensure they receive their share.
The stimulus is structured to supplement existing federal tax credits and is being distributed through the New Jersey Department of Human Services in collaboration with local tax agencies. Eligible families could receive their funds via direct deposit or prepaid debit cards.
