You didn't mention what kind of government aid but broadly speaking, because of how most programs are funded, it's fraud to claim benefits in one state and live in another.

ny might be a big state but you can't purport to live in 2 states at the same time -
although I do know people who use oot addresses on their driver's license to keep insurance rates low

You generally need to show proof of residence. Lease agreement or similar. If you have one for your NY residence, that should be good.
You can use a passport for photo ID.
BUT if you are a resident of NY, getting befits from NY, paying taxes to NY - I don't think you can keep the NJ license. But I don't know enough about that.
And if you are a resident of NJ officially, then I don't see how you can get benefits from NY. And what is the point of getting health insurance etc from NJ if you live in NY?

You haven't said what kind of aid. If it's Medicaid, then being coverered in NJ won't help since you'll have to go back to NJ to access medial care. Same for WIC or SNAP.

it is illegal to live in NY and have a license and insurance in another state. so start with that. BTW the benefits in NY are much better so the increased benefits might be more than the difference in car insurance.
