Establishes pilot program providing NJ FamilyCare eligibility for children with special needs who would otherwise be ineligible due to parental income and assets, and requires DHS commissioner to conduct study.

This bill creates a 3-year pilot program that allows children with special needs (under age 21 who meet federal disability standards) to qualify for NJ FamilyCare benefits even if their family's income or assets would normally make them ineligible. It directly affects middle-income families who cannot afford care for their disabled children without Medicaid coverage. The program requires annual checks to confirm the child still meets the disability definition, with an appeals process if benefits are terminated. After the pilot ends, the state must report on participation, costs, and whether to make the program permanent. The bill expires upon submission of this final report.
