Bergen County Board of Social Services building is closed to
the public.
People could apply in different ways:
- Online
applications are accepted for all programs. (https://bcbss.com/) - Paper
applications could be mailed out to those who do not have a personal computer. - There
is a table set up with paper applications inside the building lobby for people
to pick up and mail back for processing. - There
is currently a skeleton crew working in the building’s offices. - They
have some staff working remotely from home. - The
State has relaxed rules regarding face to face interviews, so they now
interview all clients over the phone. - There
is a focus on new applications since ongoing clients are already receiving
benefits. - The
State has allowed them to keep open any Emergency Assistance ( Temporary Rental
Assistance ) cases at least until 4/30/20 . Emergency Assistance will not be
closed under the circumstances. - The
amount of new applications coming in for all of the programs has increased
tremendously (no surprise with people losing businesses and jobs).
