Bill overview
This bill prohibits incarcerated individuals in New Jersey from receiving Medicaid, Work First New Jersey, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. It establishes procedures for the Department of Human Services to share information with relevant agencies to identify incarcerated individuals who may be eligible for these benefits. The bill also amends existing Medicaid law to exclude incarcerated individuals from receiving certain medical assistance services. The goal is to align benefits with incarceration status and ensure consistent application of public assistance programs.
