A 1475 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DHS to set reimbursement rates for owners or operators of group homes providing individual support services to certain persons with developmental disabilities.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) to reimburse group home operators at full rate for services provided to residents with developmental disabilities during a 60-day medical, psychiatric, or rehabilitative transfer to another facility. If the resident isn't returned within 60 days, DHS must pay 50% of the reimbursement rate for an additional 120 days. After six months without return, group home operators may begin discharge procedures per existing regulations. The bill directly affects group home providers and residents with developmental disabilities receiving in-home support services.
