Provides comprehensive Medicaid benefits to certain individuals formerly in foster care.

New Jersey's S 1788 extends comprehensive Medicaid benefits to individuals under age 21 who were previously in foster care. The bill amends existing Medicaid law to explicitly include this group as "qualified applicants," removing the prior barrier that required them to meet "dependent child" eligibility rules. This change ensures youth aging out of foster care can access medical assistance without needing to satisfy additional requirements tied to dependent child status. The provision aligns with federal Medicaid standards and applies to those who would otherwise qualify for foster care-related benefits under the State Plan.
