Overview
This bill establishes a three-year pilot program in New Jersey to provide NJ FamilyCare eligibility to children with special needs who would otherwise be ineligible due to their parents’ income or assets. The program aims to help middle-income families with children who have disabilities afford necessary care. The Department of Human Services will annually review eligibility and establish an appeals process, and the commissioner will report on the program’s effectiveness after three years.
