The Tenants Lifeline Assistance Program provides a $225 annual benefit in the form of a check to eligible tenants who have the cost of gas and electric utilities included in their rent. The Special Utility Supplement provides a supplement of up to $18. 75 a month to recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in place of a Lifeline Utility credit or Tenants Lifeline Assistance payment.
In order to be eligible for Lifeline, beneficiaries must: Be a recipient of Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) or meet the PAAD eligibility requirements; or Be a recipient of either Medical Assistance to the Aged (MAA), Medical Assistance Only (MAO) or New Jersey Care.
For 2026, in order to be eligible for PAAD, you must: Be a New Jersey resident; Be age 65 or older or between ages 18 and 64 and receiving Social Security Disability; and Have income less than $54,943 if single or less than $62,390 if married. If you are not a beneficiary of PAAD, but you meet the above eligibility requirements, please complete an NJSave application .

For additional information, call our toll free Hotline at 1-800-792-9745 .
Lifeline Program Guidelines Only one tenant in a household is entitled to this assistance. When two or more persons share a single household, Lifeline will only accept one application from that household. Also, the application must be in the applicant's or spouse name (if married).
Recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) should NOT file an application for Lifeline. The Lifeline benefit is automatically included in SSI checks. The Lifeline benefit provides assistance for only electricity and natural gas.
Other fuels, such as bottled or propane gas, oil, coal, or wood, are NOT covered. If you pay utility bills directly to a single utility company, a $225 annual credit will appear on your utility bill. If you receive service from two different companies, the $225 credit will be divided equally between the two utilities.
If the cost of your utilities is included in your rent, you will receive a check for $225. If you pay utility bills to two different companies (with one bill in your name and the other in your spouse's name) you must report this on your application. Your Lifeline credit will be divided equally and applied to each account.
The Lifeline application pertains only to your primary place of residence. Seasonal or temporary residence in New Jersey is not considered a primary residence.
