Requires replacement benefit cards for Work First New Jersey and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to include security protocol instructions.

This bill amends the Work First New Jersey program and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to mandate that replacement benefit cards include written instructions on locking and unlocking the card to prevent unauthorized use. Currently, while replacement cards are issued, no such instructions are provided. The bill also allows the commissioner to determine the need for additional security measures and personal identification technology for accessing benefits.
