10:87-12.5 NJ SNAP allotment proration
(a) In accordance with 7 CFR 273.10(a)(1)(iii), the formula for determining NJ SNAP proration is as follows: Full month's benefits X (31 minus date of application) -------------------------------------------------------- 30 = prorated allotment 1. The computation in (a) above is to be carried out in the following sequence: i. Subtract the date of application from 31; ii. Multiply the result in setup (a)1i above by the full month's benefit; and iii. Divide the result in step (a)1ii above by 30. (b) After using the formula in (a) above to determine the allotment, the CSSA shall round the product down to the nearest lower whole dollar if it ends in 1 through 99 cents; (c) If the computation results in an allotment of less than $ 10.00, then no issuance shall be made for the initial month.
