A 6066 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Codifies and requires Legislative authorization for reductions in minimum NJ FamilyCare eligibility levels and benefits.

This bill codifies the current eligibility standards and benefits for New Jersey's FamilyCare program as they existed on January 19, 2025, preventing any reductions without legislative action. It specifically prohibits the state from lowering income thresholds, changing eligibility categories, or reducing benefits without new legislation. The bill applies to both FamilyCare (which covers children and parents/caretakers) and Medicaid programs. The requirements are conditional on continued federal funding for state Medicaid expenditures, protecting existing coverage levels for New Jersey residents who rely on these health programs.
