Fax Your New Jersey Benefits Paperwork
The fax line each New Jersey agency publishes for Medicaid and CHIP, SNAP, unemployment, state leave benefits, and state tax, with what that office asks you to put on every page.
10 pages free every month. No credit card.
Where to fax it
One of the 5 New Jersey agencies below publishes a fax line for its documents, 2 run their programs through local offices, so the number is your own county's, and 2 publish only lines for a particular form or an appeal. Call the number in the row before you send.
The office asks for your case number on every page. Put it on every page you send, and keep the fax receipt. An office that cannot match a page to a case has to set it aside, and the receipt is what proves you sent it before the deadline.
Call before you send. Agency fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the number and whether that office is the one holding your case.
An NJ FamilyCare case is held by one County Board of Social Services, so a document for a case goes to that county office rather than to a state-level line.
NJ SNAP takes a printed application by fax at the applicant's own County Social Service Agency, the office whose number is listed in the state directory of county agencies.
An appeal sent to the Appeal Tribunal should carry the claimant's Social Security number, name the determination being appealed, and give the grounds for the appeal.
No general fax line published. The lines this office does publish:
The Division of Temporary Disability and Family Leave Insurance asks for the claimant's Social Security number on all correspondence, which is what ties a faxed page to a claim.
Anyone writing to the Office of the Taxpayer Advocate about another person's account is asked for a signed Appointment of Taxpayer Representative, Form M-5008-R, on request.

What the fax costs on FaxTerra
This is what FaxTerra charges to send it. It is not a fee the office charges.
Every FaxTerra account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A renewal or verification packet of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.
Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second packet in the same month takes you past 10 pages, a FaxTerra Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.
Questions
What do I put on every page I fax to a New Jersey agency?
Your case or client number, your name, and your date of birth, unless the row below says the office asks for something else. A page that arrives without a case number has to be matched by hand, which is the slowest path through any agency.
Can I fax a New Jersey agency without a fax machine?
Yes. Upload the pages from your phone or computer, enter the office's fax number, and send. The agency receives it as a fax. Every account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one.
What if the fax line does not answer?
Call the number in that office's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed or whether it wants the document another way.
My row says the program runs through county offices. Where do I fax it?
To your own county office, whose fax is in the state directory linked in that row. New Jersey does not run that program from one address, so there is no statewide number to give you, and a number from another county will not reach your caseworker.
Is this an official New Jersey site?
No. FaxTerra is a fax service. New Jersey and the office you are writing to set the rules and decide your case; every number and requirement here is linked to the agency's own page under official sources.
