New Jersey’s cash assistance program is called Work First New Jersey (WFNJ). It provides monthly cash, child care, job search and readiness, and short-term housing support for eligible New Jersey residents.

New Jersey’s program for families is known as Work First New Jersey/Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (WFNJ/TANF).

New Jersey also has a program for single adults and couples without dependent children, known as Work First New Jersey/General Assistance (WFNJ/GA).
