Overview
This bill extends the time frame within which newborn infants in New Jersey can be enrolled in health benefits coverage. Currently, infants must be enrolled within a specific period, but this legislation would lengthen that window, allowing more time for families to secure coverage for their newborns. It primarily impacts how subscription certificates and group contracts handle enrollment of newly born children, ensuring they receive coverage from the moment of birth. The bill also clarifies provisions related to former spouses’ access to health benefits after divorce.
