>> here. >> Commissioner Oino here. Commissioner Sorrow >> here. >> Commissioner Romero >> here. >> Deputy Director Marshon >> here. >> Director Taylor present. >> Do I have a motion in second to open public comment on resolutions only? >> Move. Second.
>> All in favor? >> We have public comment tonight. >> Motion. >> Second. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. Department heads. >> Good evening. I'm Cheryl Golden,
director of the Division of Social Services. A little over a year ago, I came and I spoke at one of your meetings about to provide you information with the skimming of SNAP benefits that was occurring um and how it was impacting some of the residents that we serve at
the Division of Social Services. Um so to to tell a little bit about skimming, when these benefits are skimmed, it's the the SNAP benefits that are on the card. um that means that all of the funds that are on that card for that recipient
um are stolen. So they're taken from the card and they don't get anything back until the following month's aotment. Um and the funds for purchasing food cannot be replaced. So, the main cause of skimming is through criminals attaching a device to a point of sale machine at a
retailer um that captures the card information and the PIN number that is entered by the consumer. Um it happens to cards that are swiped with the magnetic strip um which has been the only way that benefit cards have been produced so far um by uh the New Jersey
public assistance programs. New Jersey has been working toward upgrading that EBT card to have chip functionality um which will significantly reduce the potential for skimming. So, well, the time has finally come. They've been talking about it for a few years. Had to
go through a big approval process. A lot of, you know, a lot of different uh things had to happen. So, New Jersey has been approved to use not only the chip functionality, but all of the new cards will also be able to be tapped. You they'll be able to tap to purchase um food. Um, this is great news for these
families that we serve because their benefits will be protected, but it also comes with a little bit of a change. So, I wanted to talk to you tonight about that change. Um, because we all know that some people have problems with change, but we're going to work through
it with them. Um, so, previously, all 21 counties, social service agencies, we print the cards. We have the machines, we have the cards, we print them once cases are approved and we provide them then to the people that we serve. New
Jersey provided each county with these machines. Um so we did all those things on our own. the chip card and the tap card printing equipment and the um you know the actual cards themselves are extremely expensive and it is cost
prohibitive for the state to provide us now with those machines and with those cards. So all cards will be printed by the state and they will be mailed to elig eligible recipients by the state of New Jersey. Um they're going to
centralize the entire process. It's moving forward now and the launch date is set for early July for the three pilot counties. Cumberland County happens to be one of those pilot counties. Um the process should roll out statewide by the
end of the summer. Um it's going to take some time for us to, you know, educate the people that we serve that we will no longer be sending them these cards. There's going to be a change in the way that they receive them. And in some cases it might seem
like the replacement cards are not coming as quickly or they are not as accessible as they were when we were doing it ourselves in Vineland. Um so we can't print them. We cannot mail them. We will still provide our consumers with the information. We will assist them
with reporting the lost or stolen cards and we will help them order their new cards. Um but we won't be distributing them. According to the Division of Family Development, which is our oversight entity at the state, um the time frame for the receipt of the cards that they are going to send is about a
week after the case approval or after a card is reported as lost or stolen. Um information on the change is going to be mailed to all eligible households on or around June 15th. I will share all of the information materials with all of
you with the county web master so we can get all these things online so we can get as much information out as possible. Um, county administration, yourselves, commissioners, other a county agencies and nonprofits. They may be contacted by residents about the change. Um, but you
know, I will be available. The staff at social services are very happy to assist anybody that needs help in understanding the change or if they have questions on how the how they will be impacted. Um it is possible that the transition could be difficult for some people but the
benefit of securing those funds on those dollars is well it it outweighs any kind of inconvenience that they might have. They might have to wait an extra day or two because we get them out pretty quickly. That's to me that that may be um you know the downside of this. Instead of getting it within 2 or 3
days, they may wait a week. Um so you may hear things like that. Um but again, we don't have control over that. We will assist however we can. Um but as I said, the benefit of those dollars being secured I think is worth the couple more
days wait. Um so that's the information I have. Unless anybody has any questions, um reach out to me and I'll get you anything that you need. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> Any other department heads? >> Resolution 2026-323.

election and astronomical amount of money with this new setup. But when they redo this this programming, is that going to be a dumb? That's my concern. >> Then it's going to cut down the number the number of needs needed visits. Um
it's going to be much more streamlined. If you remember, we had discussion last year and we paid a lot of money for them to revisit after we paid for reprogram. So they're going to reprogram for 2026. Is there any way we have some kind of assurance that they're not going to come back and say, "Okay, when they when they
look at it again, they're going to charge us money." programming would take place at least twice a year, sometimes three times a year. Um, just because they have >> Well, I know you got primaries. >> That should be that should be more than that is what they're telling us. We're going to have to have more of a deep
discussion and that's a that's a board of elections discussion they're going to have direct as as they are. >> Well, they can report something back for the next meeting. I mean, I just want assurances that we're not going to pay to the debit
