JFS Financial Assistance

At Jewish Family Service, we believe that financial concerns should never prevent someone from receiving the care they need. Eligible residents of Clifton and Passaic, as well as clients participating in select grant-funded programs, may qualify for financial assistance to help offset the cost of clinical services.

Financial assistance is based on household size and verified annual income, using the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) guidelines. Assistance is available for households earning up to 400% of the FPL.

To apply, please submit a completed Financial Assistance Worksheet along with two recent pay stubs and a recent tax return for all household members.

For more information or to request a Financial Assistance Worksheet, call 973-777-7638 ext. 138 or complete the Intake form above.
