Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 44:10-84
- Entitlement: A Federal program or provision of law that requires payments to any person or unit of government that meets the eligibility criteria established by law. Entitlements constitute a binding obligation on the part of the Federal Government, and eligible recipients have legal recourse if the obligation is not fulfilled. Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.
6. A noncitizen who is eligible for the federal food stamp program shall not be eligible for the program. A noncitizen who is ineligible for the federal food stamp program, but is eligible for the program, and who subsequently is made eligible for the federal food stamp program due to changes in federal law, shall lose entitlement to benefits under the program upon receipt of benefits under the federal food stamp program.
