ACRONYMS
CASS:
Consolidated Assistance and Support System
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE (EA) - Payments to those eligible for WFNJ/TANF or WFNJ/GA,
authorized during the 30 consecutive days immediately following the emergency (defined as a
substantial loss of shelter, food, clothing, or household furnishings by fire, flood or other similar
disaster) or if eligible individual or family is an imminent or actual state of homelessness.
NJ SNAP - Formerly the Food Stamp Program, now known as NJ SNAP (NJ Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program) authorized by Congress as a nutritional supplement program to
provide low income households with more food of greater variety and better nutrition. Program
eligibility is based on household income, resources, and expenses for medical, shelter, and
dependent care. CWA staff refers certain recipients to the New Jersey Department of Labor for
participation in the Food Stamp Employment and Training Program.
FAMIS: Family Assistance Management Information System
GAAS:
General Assistance Automated System
NJKiDS: New Jersey Kids Deserve Support (Child Support Information Management System)
NJ MMIS SHARED DATA WAREHOUSE: The Shared Data Warehouse (SDW) is the
repository for New Jersey's DFD and Medicaid data. Since 2003, OptumInsight has administered
the SDW and provided access to the data through a reporting tool known as Business Objects.
OMEGA: Online Management of Economic Goal Achievement
SSI-EA: Supplemental Security Income-Emergency Assistance
WFNJ: Work First New Jersey - Fully implemented July 1, 1997, this is New Jersey's welfare
reform program which responds to the requirements of the Federal Personal Responsibility and
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996. PRWORA established Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) as the replacement for AFDC cash assistance. WFNJ
includes two segments, WFNJ/TANF for families with children, and WFNJ/GA (General
Assistance) for single adults and couples without dependent children. WFNJ emphasizes achieving
self-sufficiency and limits lifetime receipt of financial assistance to a total of five years.
