A 3564 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes program for certain individuals to become certified homemaker-home health aides and provide services to certain Medicaid and Medicaid-Medicare dually eligible enrollees under increased reimbursement rates.

Bill A3564 creates a program allowing family members or approved third parties to become certified homemaker-home health aides (CHHAs) for New Jersey residents aged 65+ who qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare (dual-eligible enrollees). Family members must complete required training (paid entirely by the home care agency) and provide services under a registered nurse's direction. The bill mandates that these services be reimbursed at a minimum rate of $30 per hour - higher than standard rates - to encourage participation and support care for elderly residents.
