Overview
This bill establishes a new program within the New Jersey Department of Health to address the shortage of direct care workers in long-term services and supports (LTSS). The program aims to increase the supply of these workers through various strategies, including reviewing Medicaid policies, utilizing COVID-19 funds, developing training programs, and offering incentives for career advancement. It also seeks to improve recruitment and retention by streamlining the process for out-of-state workers and raising public awareness about the rewarding nature of these jobs.
