This bill mandates that the New Jersey Department of Human Services provide informational posters or signage to all authorized SNAP retailers. These materials will contain essential information aimed at helping SNAP recipients protect themselves from fraud that targets their benefits. Specifically, the signage will include guidance on how to lock and unlock their electronic benefits transfer cards, among other precautions. Retailers are required to display this information prominently in areas that are easily accessible and frequently visited by SNAP recipients.
Additionally, the bill empowers the Department of Human Services to establish rules and regulations necessary for implementing these provisions, ensuring that the initiative is effectively carried out. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
