Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 54:1-83
- 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.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Local Budget Law” (N.J.S. 40A:4-1 et seq.), a municipality which qualifies for an entitlement pursuant to section 7 of this act may anticipate the amount of the entitlement in its annual budget for the year in which the entitlement is made. The Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the Department of Community Affairs shall, pursuant to the “Administrative Procedure Act,” P.L.1968, c. 410 (C. 52:14B-1 et seq.) establish rules and regulations necessary to effectuate the provisions of this section.
