A 3673 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Increases hourly limit of reimbursable personal care assistant services under NJ WorkAbility Program.

This bill increases the maximum weekly reimbursement limit for personal care assistant services under New Jersey's WorkAbility Program from 40 hours to 112 hours per calendar week. It directly affects employed, permanently disabled New Jersey residents who qualify for the program by meeting income thresholds (under 250% of federal poverty level for earned income) and having a disability certified by Social Security or the state. The key change allows these individuals to receive significantly more hours of covered personal care support through existing Medicaid contracts managed by the state. This adjustment aligns with federal Medicaid program requirements and aims to provide greater flexibility for participants in the WorkAbility Program.
