NEW: The Trump Admin has admitted they must comply with yesterday’s court order and issue full SNAP benefits for November.
Recipients should confirm balances and monitor NJSNAP.gov. We’ll continue fighting to protect NJ residents and make sure they don’t go hungry.

Last week, the Federal Communications Commission voted to increase phone and video calling rate caps for incarcerated people.
In July we published dispatches about the necessity of phone calls, and how high costs — relative to extremely low prison wages — affect their connections to loved ones.

Phone Calls Are a Lifeline in Prison, But They Are Expensive
