Overview
This bill establishes a fee for certain New Jersey employers who employ individuals or their dependents receiving health benefits coverage through the State Medicaid program. The fee amounts vary based on the size of the employer, ranging from $325 to $725 per employee and dependent. The bill includes exemptions for employees with specific disabilities, those employed for less than 90 days, part-time workers, and seasonal employees, and provides a credit to employers who were previously charged the fee for ineligible employees. It also prohibits discrimination based on Medicaid coverage and protects the confidentiality of employee health information.
