Requires inmate to participate in Medicaid enrollment session 60 days prior to release.

This bill requires inmates in New Jersey state prisons or county correctional facilities to attend a Medicaid enrollment session at least 60 days before their release. During the session, trained county welfare workers or facility staff must help inmates complete and submit Medicaid applications, either in person or by phone. Inmates who choose not to participate must do so in writing, and staff must explain Medicaid benefits and how to apply later if they change their mind. The policy aims to improve post-release healthcare access by streamlining Medicaid enrollment for returning residents.
