"Self-Directed Care Access Act"; requires DHS to establish common intake system and application process for Medicaid self-directed care programs.

This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Human Services to create a single online portal for applying to Medicaid programs that allow individuals to manage their own home and community-based services. The system will include a standardized application form and an automated screening process to determine eligibility and refer applicants to the appropriate waiver programs. Additionally, the bill mandates uniform documentation requirements for participants who wish to hire their own staff to provide care. These changes aim to simplify the enrollment process for people currently in or seeking these specific Medicaid support programs.
