Bill overview
This bill changes the Personal Assistance Services Program (PASP) in New Jersey to automatically include primary caregivers of minor children who meet other eligibility requirements. It recognizes that caring for a child can be a significant disability and provides access to assistance with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and transportation. The goal is to support these caregivers and help them maintain their health and independence. This expansion ensures that parents with disabilities receive the necessary support to balance caregiving responsibilities with their own needs.
