S 1907 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes program within veterans' memorial homes to provide support to families of residents.

This bill establishes a program within New Jersey's veterans' memorial homes to provide direct support services to families of residents. It requires the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs to have resident advocates (already established by law) administer the program, making key resources accessible on-site. The program provides family members with timely information on health updates, facility events, state/federal benefits applications, financial assistance, and counseling services - both in-person and referrals for external support. It defines "family member" to include spouses, domestic partners, and children (by blood or adoption) who are New Jersey residents. The bill mandates implementation within 90 days of enactment.
