Federal and New Jersey Kinship Supports:

Public benefits available to grandparents and the children they raise vary from state to state. Benefits that may be available include:
•Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
•Supplemental Security Income
•Social Security
•WIC Program – This special supplemental food program for women, infants, and children (WIC) can help you buy food for eligible grandchildren in your care. The child must be 5 years old or younger. He or she must also be at risk for poor nutrition. Visit the WIC website to find your state's toll-free number.
•Medicaid
•Guardianship subsidies – Some states have programs that give financial assistance to grandparents who are the legal guardian of a child. However, not all states provide this option. The National Center on Grandparents Raising Grandchildren provides a list of state support services and benefits available to you.
•Legal rights – Many grandparents find they need legal help when making decisions about their grandchildren. If you can't afford a lawyer, try your local legal aid office, court clerk office, or law school clinic for help. You can also go to the American Bar Association website for a directory of legal aid offices in your area". (https://www.usa.gov/child-care)
