A 3103 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DHS to establish a pilot program covering menstrual hygiene products under Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services to create a pilot program providing free menstrual hygiene products (tampons, menstrual cups, and sanitary napkins) to eligible Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare enrollees. Eligible individuals would receive products at no cost by presenting their Medicaid card at participating pharmacies, with quantities and frequency determined by health experts. The program depends on federal approval of a waiver under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act to secure federal funding. The bill does not take effect until this federal waiver is approved.
