Expands availability of NJ FamilyCare Advantage program.
This bill expands New Jersey's NJ FamilyCare Advantage program to make health coverage more accessible for low-income children under 19, their parents/caretakers, and adults without dependent children. Key changes include requiring simplified income verification (like pay stubs or tax record matching), implementing continuous enrollment to prevent coverage gaps, and allowing children to get immediate coverage during hospital visits if they meet income criteria (up to 350% of the poverty level). The program will also streamline renewal processes through preprinted forms and online options. These changes aim to reduce administrative barriers while maximizing federal funding for eligible residents.
