Bill overview
This bill aims to support community health workers by excluding the first $5,000 in income earned from their work in health promotion or disease prevention programs when determining eligibility for NJ FamilyCare, WFNJ, and SNAP. It also extends this exclusion to the Work First New Jersey Program. The goal is to ensure that individuals working in these vital roles are not penalized for income earned while fulfilling their community health duties.
