Now includes loss of classroom supplies due to worksite mold
The NJEA Hardship Relief Fund is administered by the NJEA Member Benefits Fund and provides eligible members with grants from $500 to $2,500 for certain losses (primary residence displacement, food insecurity and loss of classroom supplies) resulting from a fire or natural disaster.
At its Jan. 11, 2025, meeting, the NJEA Delegate Assembly made a change to this program to include loss of classroom supplies and materials as a result of mold infestation at the worksite. To be eligible, the mold incident must have occurred on or after Jan. 11, 2025.
