Requires State Medicaid beneficiaries to notify county welfare agencies no later than 20 days of change of circumstances.

This bill changes the deadline for New Jersey Medicaid recipients to report life changes affecting their eligibility. Currently, beneficiaries must notify county welfare agencies within 14 days of a change (like income shifts or address moves); this bill extends that window to 20 days. It directly affects all Medicaid recipients in New Jersey who must update their circumstances. The bill also requires the state Human Services Commissioner to seek federal approval for this change to maintain Medicaid funding. The policy alters existing reporting rules without changing eligibility criteria.
