3. The Commissioner of Community Affairs shall notify in writing any person who received rental assistance under the program authorized pursuant to section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 as added by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Pub. L.93-383 (42 U.S.C. § 1437f) of the availability of the earned income tax credit provided in section 32 of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 26 U.S.C. § 32, and the New Jersey earned income tax credit provided in section 2 of P.L.2000, c.80 (C. 54A:4-7). The written notification shall use the statement developed by the State Treasurer pursuant to section 4 of P.L.2005, c.210 (C. 52:18-11.3) for this purpose. The notification shall be distributed in a manner deemed by the commissioner to be the most practicable and cost effective, but that will ensure personal notification of each person. The notification shall be distributed between January 1 and February 15 of each calendar year following the calendar year in which the person or couple received the assistance. The commissioner shall consult annually with the Commissioner of Human Services in an effort to take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to avoid the distribution of more than one notice to a person who is eligible to receive a notice under this section and section 2 of P.L.2005, c.210 (C. 30:1-2.5). If the recipient of the assistance was a married couple, only one notice addressed to either the husband or wife, or both, shall be required.
