The New Jersey stimulus check is part of the Excluded New Jerseyans Fund. For this fund, New Jersey has set aside $40 million in federal funds. Undocumented immigrants would benefit greatly from this stimulus check.
Those who qualify for the New Jersey stimulus check will get a one-time payment of $2,000, with a maximum of $4,000 per household. Authorities are now taking applications, but the deadline is Monday, February 28. If the funds are over before the deadline, the application period may conclude sooner.
Apply For The Stimulus Check Before Feb 28
The Excluded New Jerseyans Fund was recently refilled with $40 million by New Jersey. Following outcry when the state transferred $34 million of the fund’s unused money for state costs, the authorities agreed to extend the deadline to February 28.
Undocumented persons, people who have just been jailed, and those who did not get the federal stimulus check or the pandemic unemployment compensation are all eligible to apply for this stimulus money.
Other qualifications include being at least 18 years old and residing in the state of New Jersey. In addition, the yearly household income must be less than $55,000 to be eligible for the stimulus payment. Applicants must additionally provide documentation to prove their eligibility. They will also be required to submit a photograph with their application.
The application procedure will take around 20 to 30 minutes, and candidates will be needed to upload the relevant papers. They will receive a status update through SMS or email after submitting their application.
If the application is accepted, the applicants will get an email with a login and password for a URL that will be attached. The applicant will be able to pick a payment option by clicking on the link (check or direct deposit).
