N.J. Stat. § 18A:58-7.1
Each school district or nonprofit nonpublic school participating in the National School Lunch Program shall be reimbursed for each Type A lunch as defined within an approved contract with the Department of Education at a rate not to exceed the maximum amount permissible under Federal regulations for the general-cash-for-food assistance phase of the program. Whenever the Federal funds available to the Department of Education are less than the maximum amount permissible under Federal regulation, the State may provide, within the limitations of available State funds, an amount which, when added to the Federal funds, will equal the maximum amount permissible under Federal regulations for the general-cash-for-food assistance phase of the program.
