FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

If you need financial help, either temporarily or in addition to child support, there is help in New Jersey!

Work First New Jersey (WFNJ), New Jersey’s welfare program, offers eligible families financial help and other support services – such as child care, Medicaid and food stamp benefits.  WFNJ is designed to give you temporary assistance by helping you prepare for work, get a good job and only use public assistance until you become self-sufficient.

For more information, contact your county’s Board of Social Services office or call the WFNJ Hotline at 1-800-792-9773.
