Statewide Benefits for Older Persons

This is a guide to programs and services offered to older persons by the State of New Jersey. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list. In addition, there are many programs and services offered to senior citizens at a discount, or at no charge, by professional associations and by the private sector.

For further information on such programs and services in your area, we recommend that you contact your Area Agency on Aging. A list of these offices, together with their addresses and phone numbers, appears in the Appendix.

This guide is updated at least annually. New laws amending old programs, laws creating new ones, or changes in regulations may affect the accuracy of the information contained in this publication once it is released. Also, telephone numbers and addresses are subject to change. Please keep this in mind as you read this guide.
