Prohibits payment of temporary disability benefits to incarcerated individuals.
New Jersey Assembly Bill A169 prohibits the payment of temporary disability benefits to individuals incarcerated due to criminal violations. The bill amends the Temporary Disability Benefits Law to explicitly exclude benefits during any period of incarceration in federal, state, or municipal facilities following a conviction or guilty plea. This change affects people serving time in prison or jail for criminal offenses, removing their eligibility for disability payments during that period. The law applies to all forms of incarceration related to criminal charges, not just jail time.
