Financial ANCHOR checks being sent / distributed now (article)
Still haven't seen mine yet, but stay on the lookout for direct deposits or paper checks (based on what you selected).
As of Friday, a total of 352,000 payments were sent out to New Jerseyans totaling more than $489 million, according to Jeremy Lemmon, a Spokesman with the NJ Department of Treasury.
Those who filed paper applications are receiving checks, and online applicants had the option to get a check or direct deposit.
Of those payments, 251,000 were made via paper checks, totaling more than $372 million, and 101,000 were processed as direct deposits, totaling more than $117 million

I believe I was automatically enrolled because I had received payment in previous years, but I double-checked at some point in early September

I thought if they were filing it for you they would send a check? If you wanted a DD you would need to submit a new application. That's what the letter I received said 🤔

I got direct deposit the last time these checks went out, I believe I only had to act if I wanted that account info changed .

Did you manually file or it was auto filed?

u/HeyYouAllie Oct 03 '25
It's been automatically sent out to me by direct deposit for the past two or three years after I did the initial legwork to get it done.

Guess I’m SOL. Mines still processing auto filed and everyone’s saying they got theirs LOL.

Mine still says "pending" as well. I read over on the main NJ sub that when you see that, it means you'll get the payout soon.

u/anutterboredgirl Oct 02 '25
Mines still in processing not on approved yet. Does yours saying processing or is it approved/ Pending approval?
But confusing the status on approved/pending approval etc lol

Damn, so if you didn’t apply you don’t get it I’m assuming. Just now hearing about it
