Excludes certain income earned from health promotion or disease prevention work from income eligibility determination under NJ FamilyCare, WFNJ, and NJ SNAP.

This bill excludes the first $5,000 earned annually as a community outreach worker in health promotion or disease prevention programs from income calculations for New Jersey's Medicaid (NJ FamilyCare), Work First New Jersey (WFNJ), and SNAP programs. It directly affects low-income individuals working temporary, hourly or stipend-based roles with non-profits, health systems, or local health departments - where they connect communities to health services. The key provision ensures this modest income isn’t counted toward eligibility thresholds, preventing beneficiaries from losing assistance due to small earnings. The bill defines "health promotion" as programs empowering healthy behaviors and "disease prevention" as reducing health risks, applying to all three state assistance programs. It requires state agencies to update eligibility rules to implement this change.
