Prohibits incarcerated individuals from receiving Medicaid, Work First New Jersey, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
This bill would prevent individuals incarcerated in New Jersey state or county facilities from receiving Medicaid, Work First New Jersey, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. It requires the Department of Human Services to obtain monthly updates on incarcerated individuals from correctional facilities and courts, then compare these lists to benefit enrollment data. If someone is identified as incarcerated, their benefits would be immediately suspended. The bill directly affects people currently held in custody, removing their eligibility for these programs.
