You May Be Eligible for $1,000 in COVID-19 Relief
Posted November 12, 2021If you were impacted by COVID-19 but ineligible for pandemic-related help, you may qualify for a one-time benefit of up to $1,000 per individual and a max of $2,000 per household.
The Excluded New Jerseyans Fund (ENJF) provides a one-time, direct cash benefit to eligible households who have suffered an economic hardship due to COVID-19 and were excluded from both the federal stimulus checks and COVID related unemployment assistance – including undocumented individuals, residents re-entering from the justice system, and any other individuals otherwise excluded.
Applications for this program are now open at nj.gov/humanservices/excludednjfund and will be accepted until funds are exhausted.
