The appropriate application fee is identified in the Job Announcement. The purpose of the application fee is to pay for the processing of your application. It DOES NOT guarantee admission to the examination or appointment to a position.

Note:  Veterans pay reduced fee of $15 for each application.

A separate application is required for each announcement. Each Job Announcement is identified by a Job Announcement symbol that begins with a C, M, or S. Even if the job titles are the same, you must file a separate application for each symbol.

You must include an application fee for each application that you submit.

• Pay by credit card or e-check if you are filing an on-line application;

                                                  OR

• Pay by check or money order - DO NOT SEND CASH. Make checks or money orders payable to NJCSC.
• Write the symbol and your address on the check or money order and send it with your confirmation page if you filed on-line, or with your paper application.

You are exempt from submitting the application fee if you are receiving:

• General Assistance - Please submit a copy of your benefits ID card or letter from your local welfare director with your application;
• Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) - Please submit a copy of your ID card that shows your case number with your application;
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI) - Please submit a copy of your latest annual awards letter, or copy of your ID card that shows your Medicaid number with your application.

No other form of assistance (veterans, disability, unemployment insurance, or Social Security) will be accepted for the exemption.
